Concept: As the future of the earth hangs in the precarious balance of an unknown fate, SEA Change's upcoming exhibit unites Portland's progressive designers, fostering cross-pollination that catalyzes future designs for an equal, peaceful, compassionate, just future. This visual fusion of evolutionary designers will put the puzzle pieces together of how to integrate nature and society.
