We never imagined our scientific articles would be displayed in an art museum!

Thanks so much, Lucas, for the joint experiences in Kenya, following the migrating butterflies, and in The Hague, admiring the outcome of your work!

I shared this experience with friends Gerard Talavera and Aurora García-Berro @phylomigrationlab.bsky.social

Being invited to the opening of the photo exhibition Constant Bloom in Fotomuseum Den Haag was a privilege. The author, Lucas Foglia, followed the migration of Vanessa cardui across 17 countries to show how this butterfly connects societies, an art project that won the 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship.
