Sequesterings


  • Center for Visual Art | Metropolitan State University of Denver 965 Santa Fe Drive Denver, CO 80204 United States (map)

August 6 - October 24, 2026

Bringing together ten contemporary artists who utilize discarded materials to explore the intersections of art, environmental activism, and human impact on nature, Sequesterings challenges viewers to confront our world’s ecological crisis through the lens of radical transformation. With diverse works ranging from delicately stitched collages and colorful hand-woven textiles to large-scale sculptures, the artists in Sequesterings act as environmental stewards and aesthetic scavengers. They reclaim what society thoughtlessly discards, transforming obsolescence into opportunity.

The exhibition features work by Twyla Exner, Calder Kamin, Natalya Khorover, Blue McRight, Anna Mein, Kelsey Merreck Wagner, Pamela "Posey" Moulton, Portia Munson, Aurora Robson, and Ian Trask, whose individual art practices unite to present a global issue on an intimate scale, creating a vision of optimism within a harsh reality. Together, these diverse and compelling artists demonstrate the transformative power of art to challenge our reliance on throwaway culture. 

Sequesterings was curated by Cecily Cullen and Aurora Robson. The exhibition will be on view August 6 – October 24, 2026.
