The willful self-destruction of humanity by Earth’s most formidable species – humans – is the topic of New Orleans-born and Dallas-raised photographer Tia Boyd. Through a series of portraits, Boyd reveals "a surviving race of godlike women warriors who have come to terraform the planet for future inhabitants." And here's our full review of the show.

This is an extensive group exhibit focused on the personal philosophies of premiere Austin and Central Texas artists.

What a fine follow-up to that excellent "Lone Star Wild" show, and what a glorious way to bid 2019 farewell!
