New Virtual Exhibition: “Wetland Times”
The Environment & Society Portal team is excited to announce the release of the second virtual exhibition of 2025: “Wetland Times,” by Enaiê Mairê Azambuja, Blake Ewing, and Nicola Thomas.
The exhibition explores the dynamic temporalities of wetlands and their complex relationships—the temporal imaginaries, narratives, structures, flows, (a)synchronicities, and ruptures they contain—framed by a conceptual vocabulary that reveals the role of language in understanding wetland times and temporalities. Explore it here.
