"This Was Once a Forest" Opens at MOCA Cleveland

January 31, 2026

The sound and video installation “This Was Once a Forest, This Was Once a Sea” opened this weekend at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland. It is part of the “Ohio Now” exhibit, which features artists from across the state, all of whom are focused on issues of environment and senses of place in Ohio. The exhibition will be up through May 31. I hope that you can go see and hear it! You can learn more about the exhibition here: https://www.mocacleveland.org/exhibitions/ohio-now
