Paranoia Bugs

Marnia Johnston (California)

Allison Hunter (Houston, Texas)

Against the backdrop of a rapidly shifting ecological landscape in which species across the globe are threatened with extinction, Zoo-space reconnects humanity with the beauty and wonder of the animal kingdom and forces us to examine our relationship with and responsibility to it.
