Current & Upcoming Exhibitions

Voices of Resilience
Voices of Resilience is a storytelling and visual art exhibit co-created by Urban Green Lab and Tennessee State University (TSU). The exhibition highlights the lived experiences of Nashvillians whose stories illuminate the intersections of climate, community, and the solutions we build together to face climate impacts and challenges. Through photography, oral history, and mixed-media art, the exhibit invites visitors to reflect on resilience as both a personal and collective practice.
