Encountering Our Indelible Mark, an exhibition Blake organized featuring about a dozen artists from around the world, was a part of the IMPACT10: Encuentro conference in Santander, Spain. The show highlights the unintended consequences of human behavior and activities, particularly on the environment.
The exhibition roster includes Charles Beneke Emmy Lingscheit Sean Caulfield Ericka Walker Todd Anderson Nicole Pietrantoni as well as Melanie Yazzie, Nancy Campbell, Sercan Sahin, Patricia Delgado, Michael Reed, and Hannah March Sanders.
The exhibition was well received in Spain, and now Blake would love to take the show on the road if any institutions are interested in hosting. There is also an opportunity to expand the exhibition to fit a larger venue. Please visit the exhibition site linked above for more information on the show, participating artists, and their extended oeuvre.
