RAMA: AMBASSADOR FOR THE ENDANGERED ONES

Speaking Passionately on Behalf of Those Who Cannot Speak

RAMA, AMBASSADOR FOR THE ENDANGERED ONES is a celebration of life.  When complete in 2013, it will be an international touring exhibition bringing together art and ecology to enhance global awareness and ignite local action to preserve biodiversity, the variety of life on Earth.  It began as a unique collaboration of visionary conservation artist Calley O’Neill, Rama, the Oregon Zoo artist elephant who paints, and Jeb Barsh, an innovative keeper who choreographs their creative contact.  The Rama Exhibition is a clarion call to action to protect and preserve vanishing species and to create a future that is even better than we can imagine.
