Opening Reception of In Search of Thoreau's Flowers and The Halls of a Changing Sea

September 25

5:30–8 pm at Gregg Museum (1903 Hillsborough St., Raleigh)

Visit the Gregg Museum to view the works on display, enjoy live music by Counterclockwise String Band in the garden, and meet the creators of two new exhibitions. Light refreshments will be provided.

In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers is an immersive multidisciplinary exhibition that combines art, science, and the humanities to explore the impact of climate change on plant life around Walden Pond over the past 120 years. The exhibition invites visitors to connect emotionally with the loss of biodiversity and encourages reflection on the need to protect the natural world through the writings of Henry Thoreau.

The Halls of a Changing Sea features a collection of artworks by Claire Alexandre that reflect her experiences as a child of the Diaspora living on unceded Indigenous and Afro-Carolina land. The vibrant representations of her ancestors, friends, and mentors are interwoven with the broader landscape of North Carolina.
