Kim Vose Jones: Lifeboat: An Unnatural History exhibit at Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery

A fantastical journey inspired by natural history tableaux and dioramas, where animal forms provoke a wide range of social, political, ethical, and cultural issues.

When researching her family genealogy, Kim Vose Jones discovered her ancestor Ann Dodin arrived in Quebec in 1669, along with dozens of other young French girls commonly known as the Filles du Roi—shipped to the New World in order to assist in the colonial project of populating the land with French settlers.

Exhibition runs until Oct. 18
