Mahalo to everyone who joined us for our ‘LESS IS MORE: Exploring Mindfulness and Conscious Consumption,’ exhibition. This exhibition was a collaborative experience that we curated at First Amendment Gallery in San Francisco, to address hyper-consumption as a dominant driver of environmental degradation and climate change. This experiential collection navigates between the macro and micro, highlighting the myriad effects that individualistic decisions have on our our planet’s fragile natural resources and ecosystems. In search of a collective consciousness, this dedicated group of artists from around the world challenge us to look inward and recognize the interconnectedness between human beings and our environments.
