Bridging art, ecology, and queer experience, the project approaches wood as a living being and explores interconnection, habitat, and environmental responsibility. Organized by the Museum for Art in Wood and curated by Jennifer-Navva Milliken.

Artist Marie Cochran reimagines the novel "Those We Thought We Knew," by David Joy that explores themes of generational trauma, and betrayal through the story of a young Black artist who returns to her ancestral home. This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Bucknell's Critical Black Studies program.
