The Human Flood
THE HUMAN FLOOD, 2023, Ellyn Weiss and Sondra N. Arkin, mixed media monoprints,
110-foot scroll installation in four sections, height variable
Reflecting the movement of millions of people forced to leave their homes, primarily in the southern hemisphere, because of floods, fires and drought caused by climate change, this installation asks the northern, industrialized world to consider its responsibility and to seek ways to humanely and rationally address this growing reality with long-term policy solutions for movement and resettlement. These 100 monoprints were created collaboratively over the course of two years.
