Hudson Rising explores 200 years of ecological change and environmental activism along “the most interesting river in America” through artifacts, media, and celebrated Hudson River School paintings. The exhibition reflects on how human activity has impacted the river and, in turn, how the river environment has shaped industrial development, commerce, tourism, and environmental awareness. The exhibition also explores how experts in various fields are currently creating ways to restore and re-engineer areas of the river in response to climate change.

Under Schlanzky and Hwang, I was tasked to create large scale environmental infographics & visuals that helped communicate human’s detrimental effects on the Hudson River, and activism later on. We created scaled models to curate the chronological sequence of events and artifacts in place. In addition, I aided with installation of graphics/artifacts.
