This month’s theme is #LifeDisrupted. Extreme weather. Pandemics. Revolutionary technology. Mass uprisings. Disruption doesn’t just redefine normal—it overthrows kings and transforms the very earth beneath our feet. At its best, disruption ushers in new eras of progress and prosperity. At its worst, it hurls humanity backwards. From striking paintings that contemplate childhood memories of internment to the fifth mass extinction in the Willner Madge Gallery, Dawn of Life, explore how disruption alters art, culture, nature—and life as we know it. Explore now.
