Sponge Exchange + FloodZone, two solo exhibitions with artists Hope Ginsburg and Anastasia Samoylova, document the habitats both above and below the sea s surface to reveal human 

interventions to our natural ocean ecology and the ocean s intrusion into the built environment. They examine the issues surrounding our climate crisis, rising sea levels, and water quality; their impact on 

the health, sustainability, and resiliency of Florida s environment; and the social and economic life of South Florida and the Gulf Coast. Both exhibitions are curated by Sarah Howard, and organized by 

USF Contemporary Art Museum.
