Wish You Were Here: The Second Best Time Is Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, USA
28 June-28 July 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Wish You Were Here: The Second Best Time Is Now” is the 2024 edition of The A.I.R. Gallery’s annual Postcard Show. Each year, hundreds of artists come together to support A.I.R. by donating a postcard-sized work in any medium. Each original work is sold for $45 and all proceeds go to benefit A.I.R. and its mission to advance the work of women and non-binary artists. This year\u2019s exhibition theme focuses on the climate crisis. The exhibition borrows its title from a Chinese Proverb: \u201cThe best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate activists are pursuing transformational change with a clear and urgent message: act now to protect people and save our planet from the worst impacts of the climate crisis. Addressing the environmental crisis requires collaboration, creativity, and positive solutions on the part of citizens working in other fields, including artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists\u2019 activism has taken many forms, from posters and demonstrations to radical actions and fundraising. Many of the postcards in the exhibition explore the intersection of gender and the environment. As Katherine Wilkinson writes in The New York Times<\/em>, \u201cClimate change is a collective problem but its burdens\u2014displacement, homelessness, poverty, sexual violence, disease\u2014weigh more heavily on women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
