FORM & FACE: Abstract Bodies and Masked Identities
April 24th – May 31st, 2026

This dynamic exhibition features the work of acclaimed artists Zarco Guerrero and Kevin Titzer, exploring the intersections of abstraction, the human form, and identity. Through sculptural masks, figurative assemblage, and evocative materials, Form and Face challenges viewers to consider how identity is constructed, concealed, and revealed. Join us for the opening reception on April 24, 2026, and experience this bold exploration of body and persona.

Opening Reception: Friday, April 24, 2026 from 4–6pm
The Special Exhibition Gallery is Open Daily 12noon–5pm

Edie Dillon’s recent mixed media sculpture offers thought provoking visual interpretations of the ideas that lead us away from the limiting frame of human exceptionalism: interdependence, reciprocity, and connection between humans and the more than human world.

The growing Rights of Nature movement – which advances nature itself as a body deserving legal rights – has the potential to significantly increase our chances of sustaining all life on the planet. The movement puts into practice our increasingly inclusive and multidimensional understandings of the more than human world – understandings that encompass both deep spiritual traditions and sophisticated scientific discoveries.

NHI Gallery is open Tuesday-Friday from 12-4:00 pm.

Edie Dillon will trace the roots of the Rights of Nature movement and its flowering in Arizona and around the world. She’ll read from her new book, Pulling Together in Rising Waters: Reciprocity as Practice and will share how her visual art interprets the ideas that support interdependence, reciprocity, respect, and the connection between humans and the more than human world to move us beyond the limiting frame of human exceptionalism. Book signing after the talk. Books are available for purchase.

Doors open at 6:30pm. The presentation starts at 7:00pm.
