Exhibition: Here, Now
August 30, 2024 through July 13, 2025
From August 30, 2024 until July 13, 2024, The Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA) will host a solo exhibition of art by Younes Rahmoun—one of Morocco’s most important artists—in partnership with the Botanic Garden of Smith College and Arts Afield at CEEDS. The exhibition will explore how Rahmoun’s place-based sculptures and installations have, for the last 25 years, created space for viewers to be in community, together in the here and now. Foremost among the exhibition's themes are nature, place, and landscape; spirituality; migration as a consequence of de/colonization; and the relationship between the macrocosm and the microcosm. The public can visit various elements of he exhibition- on Smith Campus at the SCMA and the Botanic Garden- and at Smith's Ada and Archibald MacLeish Field Station.

Lecture: Nature, Design, and Health: Explorations of a Landscape Architect
November 7, 2024
presented by David Kamp. Nature, Design, and Health: Explorations of a Landscape Architect is a personal narrative of David Kamp’s innovative and internationally influential design philosophy. Drawing upon his new book, this webinar chronicles Kamp’s remarkable career dedicated to connecting people with nature regardless of their capabilities—from children with autism spectrum disorder to elders with cognitive and physical challenges. He has also explored these ideas in the larger realm, showing how engaging individuals in the stewardship of nature is a critical component of revitalizing parks, schools, and communities, and essential to sustaining international programs combating climate change. By putting personal health on a continuum with environmental health, Kamp demonstrates how designing with nature leads to a more vibrant, resilient, and equitable future. This timely, far-ranging, and inspiring talk expands our understanding of the natural world and belief in its power to instill a sense of hope and promise. This Zube Lecture is sponsored by the UMass Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning.
