Natura Naturata: Nature’s Action features the work of eight female artists who explore their bond with the natural world through contemporary photography and video.
By means of the conceptual and visual decomposition of natural elements, this diverse body of work delves into themes related to our connection with the environment, as well as complex examinations of human impact on nature.
The concept of “nature” has changed over the course of human history, shifting from “natura naturata” (passive matter) to “natura naturans” (self-generating matter).
Since their introduction, photography and video have significantly influenced the discussions around our evolving understanding of the organic world, intersecting with fields such as biology, philosophy, and art.
Natura Naturata: Nature’s Action is curated by Claudia Pretelin. Exhibiting artists include Luciana Abait, Laura Aguilar, Jackie Castillo, Maru García, Graciela Iturbide, Carolina Montejo, Tricia Rainwater, and Rosana Schoijett.
Natura Naturata: Nature’s Action and its programs are generously funded, in part, by Perenchio Foundation and an endowment from Heather Sturt Haaga and Paul G. Haaga, Jr.
The exhibition is open at the Sturt Haaga Gallery from January 24–May 31, 2026, 10am–4pm daily. Entry to the Gallery is included in the price of admission or membership.
