Fire: Rebirth and Resilience

May 16th

Fires have long been symbols of both devastation and renewal, shaping the landscape of the west throughout history. In 1889 a catastrophic fire ripped through Spokane destroying much of the downtown core and business district and making national headlines. Today, regional fires reshape communities, affect individuals in lasting ways, and force us to think about how we live within our own changing landscapes. This exhibition explores historic and contemporary regional fires, illustrating how destruction can be a catalyst for rebirth and resilience.
