Gazing Deeply:
The Art and Science of Mammoth Cave
What do scientists and artists do? How do they work together?
Why are both arts and sciences vital to a well-rounded education?
How can creative human endeavors inspire us to protect our home planet?
Gazing Deeply explores these questions, showcasing how WKU’s backyard—the unique landscape of Mammoth Cave—is being studied, interpreted, and inspiring action on environmental change. Coinciding with the UNESCO Conservation of Fragile Karst Resources: A Workshop on Sustainability and Community and Earth Day’s 50th anniversary in 2020, this exhibition is a collaborative effort between arts and science faculty and students that highlights one of the most well-known and vital natural landscapes in the world.
