On view in Fogg Café October 1, 2026 – July 9, 2028.

See the natural world from a whole new perspective. Here, towering air plants offer shade like a Florida live oak, orchid petals may tickle the top of your head, and a greenhouse frog—no bigger than a thumbtack in real life—might make an ideal companion on your stroll through the Garden. All invite you to imagine what it feels like to be just one inch tall.

At this new scale, hidden relationships and quiet processes come into view. The intricate connections that sustain plants, animals, and the ecosystems we share are revealed, reminding us that the living world is expansive, complex, and wonderful.

On view in Kapnick Hall July 11 – October 25.

Historias del aire y del suelo | Stories of Air and Soil showcases two bodies of work by artist Pseudomero. Pseudomero’s series Trópico-Sub-Trópico: ¡Que viva la palma! (Tropical-Subtropical: Long Live Palm Trees!), highlighting palms, is a visual exploration of the ecological and social connections between Florida and Puerto Rico. The series featuring bromeliads, Bromelias en serio (Seriously Bromeliads), is a playful yet serious call to action; by celebrating this special plant and the hidden wonder that is its micro-ecosystem, we are reminded of the importance of preserving nature.
