2023 AIRIE Fellow Gal Nissim returned to the Everglades to continue exploring the relationships between humans and animals. An interdisciplinary artist and researcher, Gal deepened her ongoing investigation into invasive species and motherhood. This time, she focused on pythons and tegus while reconnecting with scientists and park staff she first met two years ago. “”I was able to go even deeper this time... It felt very, very meaningful and impactful.” Watch to hear more about her experience. #AIRIE #EvergladesNationalPark #AIRIEverglades #Miami #Art #AIRIEFellows #AIRIEResidency #FloridaEverglades (fb)

Since 2001, over 200 artists have immersed themselves in Everglades National Park through AIRIE’s Residency Program. Supervisory Park Ranger Daniel Blankenship has been a key part of that journey, helping artists connect with the Park’s landscapes, and their turning inspiration into art. The next chapter begins soon. Stay tuned for the announcement of our 25th anniversary Fellows.
