Part of Getty’s region-wide initiative PST ART: Art and Science Collide, the Hammer presents Breath(e): Toward Climate and Social Justice, organized by guest co-curators Glenn Kaino and Mika Yoshitake. The exhibition considers environmental art practices that address the climate crisis and anthropogenic disasters and their inescapable intersection with equity and social justice issues. Breath(e) was conceived during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic and America’s racial reckoning in 2020, and as such, explores pressing issues related to the ethics of climate justice while proposing pragmatic and philosophical approaches to spur discussion and resolution. The exhibition strives to challenge and deconstruct polarized political attitudes surrounding climate justice in America and offers new perspectives on land and indigenous rights of nature.  Gallery artist Brandon Ballengée showcases four works from his celebrated MIA (Missing-in-Action) series.
