Officially running September 16, 2017 - March 26, 2018
“Invisible Boundaries,” an exhibition exploring the migrations of animals in and near Yellowstone Park, and co-led by F&ES alum Arthur Middleton ’07 M.E.M., will open on Saturday, Sept. 16 at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History.
“Humans impose boundaries on landscapes that do not really exist in the eyes of the wild animals that live there,” write the exhibit organizers. “These ‘invisible boundaries’ include lines between national park and wilderness areas, public and private lands, and neighboring states and countries.”
The “Invisible Boundaries” exhibit is the result of a collaboration between Middleton, an ecologist at UC Berkeley; artist and naturalist James Prosek ’97 B.A.; photographer Joe Riis; and videographer Jenny Nichols. The team spent several years exploring the meaning of these migrations as they occur in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, one of the world’s most renowned natural heritage sites.
