INTER/INTRA, 2023 (curator)
INTER/INTRA is a curatorial project featuring work by Rachael Anderson, Ruth Burke, and Lucía Monge. The exhibition examines the dependencies between human and non-human living beings. The work communicates humans' mundane dependency on animals, plants, and other living matter and how these life forms depend on humans. The artists' works simultaneously strip that mundanity by emphasizing the profoundly tangible, intrinsic relationships all persons share with the natural world. Each artist approaches the exhibition's theme in striking contrast, highlighting personal entry points to interspecies connection.
The show was exhibited at the Wave Pool Gallery in Cincinnati, OH with much support from maria seda-reeder and Milo Whitson.

As part of programming, Ruth Burke held an Earthen Tile Wordsmith Workshop the weekend of the show’s opening. Using composted dirt, clay, turmeric, and native seeds, Ruth led folks in creating worded tiles. The tiles were composed to make a collaborative poem. Each participant took their word tile home to grow over the next season
