The Climate Museum presents Someday, all this, an epic postcard mural by artist David Opdyke that challenges how we understand our past and calls us to action for brighter futures.
Someday, all this (2021) uses hundreds of early 20th-century postcards to offer a commentary on the impact of climate change on the American landscape. The work explores the migration forced by climate change and the unjust socioeconomic systems that got us here. The artist handpaints on the original postcards, which are a combination of black and white photography with color lithographic printing, to shift existing narratives. Literally turning Americana on its head, Opdyke challenges how we understand our past and calls us to action for brighter futures.
Brooklyn Bridge Park – Emily Warren Roebling Plaza
