Metacene Unleashed • This Sunday, June 15th @ 3:00 PM

Reviving Nature’s Harmony • Outdoor Art Opening & Concert

Join representatives of the Nowodworski Foundation for this special opening of an outdoor art installation at Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site. “Reviving Nature’s Harmony” examines the legacy of human transformation of the earth in the Anthropocene.

Combining invasive bamboo and Indigenous Munsee wampum bean plants, this outdoor art project invites visitors to ponder the impacts of invasive species, the power of native plants, and what role humans play in rebuilding our society’s choices in a way that benefits and supports biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

“Reviving Nature’s Harmony” will remain up for the rest of 2025. The art installation will grow and change over the course of the summer and fall seasons.

About the art:
Did you know trees communicate through underground networks of roots and fungus? Visit this woman-made forest of interconnected, neuron-like, steel forms that rise to support bulbs, the leaf canopy. Each bulb is enveloped in found materials and illuminated, like fireflies who express through their flicker. Hear “Whispers in the Grove”.

Inspired by mycorrhiza, trees’ communication and symbiosis through an underground network of roots and mycelium, the artists built steel trees topped by cell-like bulbs made of upcycled material from different cities around the USA. The forest-like structure invites people to wander around or sit beneath it, voice tubes invite people to whisper to each other from different parts of the sculpture, and internal lights react to the approach of the viewer.
 Our budding understanding of the mycorrhiza phenomenon makes humans and plants seem more similar. This network is reminiscent of human neurons, the internet, even our network of roads connecting cities. We all live in symbiosis. Through “Whispers in the Grove” artists Natalia, Kathy and Mirabai seek to peak the public’s interest in science and nature, as well as fostering a sense of interconnectedness of humans and plants, leading to responsible conservation efforts and sustainable practices.

This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by ArtsWestchester.
