RENEW is a solo-exhibition of the work of Bangladeshi-American artist and climate activist Monica Jahan Bose.  Bose will be a visiting artist at Washington College, which is in Chestertown, Maryland, a riverfront community on the frontlines of climate change in the Chesapeake Bay region.  She will meet the students and visit their studios, present her exhibition, and organize a hands-on public workshop and talk in the gallery.  The show includes paintings, handprinted collaborative saris, sculptures, works on paper, books, and performance video, all of which speak to climate justice and the need to renew our relationship with the Earth, move towards renewable energy, and renew our commitment to ecological living.
