What does it mean to inhabit the landscape as a body? Is it a vessel or animated commons—porous, shifting, and shaped by external and internal currents alike? The Mexican idiom cobija de tripas, or gut blanket, conjures an image both visceral and comforting—another body that enfolds and surrounds us. When landscape is a gut blanket, we are perpetually in relation: bound not only to one another, but also to the environments we traverse and to the invisible threads that tie us to everything else. If comfort, vulnerability, and troubling interdependence are braided together, where do our bodies end and the world begin?  

The Cobija de Tripas (Gut Blanket) exhibition features the work of the M.F.A. students in the Environmental Art & Social Practice (EASP) program at UC Santa Cruz.
