Over the past three decades, the United States has lost 36 million acres of forest land - that is the size of New York State. And we continue to lose over a million acres of forest each year to fragmentation and development. The Conservation Fund is working to change that story. The Conservation Fund is a national nonprofit organization operating across all 50 states, chartered for both conservation and economic development. Their vision is to accelerate conservation in a smart way, creating solutions that make environmental and economic sense. The Conservation Fund, through its Working Forest Fund, focuses on our nation’s forests, one of the only truly renewable resources we have in this country. Forests provide clean air, clean water and wildlife habitat. They also offset 15% of our nation’s carbon emissions and provide and support 8.6 million jobs in rural communities.

Khari Turner creates striking paintings that combine abstraction and figuration in order to, as he puts it, ‘rejuvenate the relationship of my history to my ancestors’ history with water.’ As a Black American originally from Milwaukee, Turner’s work is steeped in this violent history and yet he chooses to celebrate his ancestors ‘for surviving the challenges they faced’ rather than reenacting their suffering. ‘I really love this work,’ says Azizi Rodney, a Production Associate for the Content team, who picked Breathing Is My Occupation as a personal auction highlight. The painting depicts a figure who appears to have jumped into a body of water, the splashes from the impact giving the effect of feathery wings protruding from their back in the moment before they become submerged. For Rodney, there is a metaphysical element to the work as well — ‘it feels like someone envisioning their true inner self when they close their eyes and take a deep breath.’ Learn More: https://www.christies.com/exhibitions/say-it-loud

Our new online selling exhibition, Say it Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud), celebrates young, emerging, and mid-career artists from across Africa and its diaspora. In this video, we visit artist Accra Shepp, who looks to photograph people ‘at their most honest’. As an artist in lockdown, Shepp discusses his approach to documenting protests for social justice and his most recent body of work, 'The COVID Journals'. Portraiture involves a level of vulnerability from both the photographer and the subject. “The ability of the still to consolidate and condense a set of emotions, a set of conditions, in a very small area that you can look at continuously and be with…makes the still photograph so resonant”. Say it Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud). 31 July – 18 August, online.
