Upcoming Exhibitions
To See This Place: Awakening to Our Common Home
Work by Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai
opening in early September 2025
Ten years ago, Pope Francis published Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, a wake-up call addressing the global ecological crisis. Drawing on disciplines ranging from climate science to sociology, Francis proposes an “integral ecology” linking our treatment of the environment with our treatment of fellow human beings. Laudato Si’ is instrumental in shaping the response of Jesuit universities to the challenges before us, including our conviction that the arts and artists must play a crucial role in combating climate change and healing relationships.
Curated by MOCRA Director David Brinker and Albey Miner of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, To See This Place presents work by Athena LaTocha, Mary Mattingly, and Tyler Rai. Spanning the disciplines of painting, photography, sculpture, performance and video, and informed by intensive research, the work of these three artists resonates with the major themes of Laudato Si’. By awakening us to the particularities and interconnectedness of the spaces we inhabit, these artists help transform climate despair into climate hope and move us from awareness to action.
