The Power of Empathy 2023

November 15, 2022 – February 15, 2023
Online

WEAD seeks art which highlights the power of empathy as we explore paths through the environmental and social-justice challenges that confront our world. This includes compassion for all living beings: human and more-than-human, individuals and communities of living organisms of all forms of sentience.

What might an empathetic world look like? How can we inspire recognition and kindness, transcending the fear of Others, and assumptions of human exceptionalism? How do we summon compassion in times of great difficulty? How can we resist apathy, and help others to resist? How do we cultivate empathy?

The juror for this exhibition was internationally recognized artist Tanja Geis, https://www.tanjageis.com/

This exhibition complemented WEAD’s annual Magazine edition #13 ‘The Art of Empathy’, published at the end of 2022.
