On Thursday, July 23, the Adorama Gallery will launch its next exhibition, <em>Human Nature<em>: a collaboration between photographers Erica Simone and Jaci Berkopec</em></em>, with <a href="http://adorama.cmail1.com/t/r-l-auuikhy-ituyydhkjj-x/" target="_blank">a reception to celebrate the opening</a>. This show celebrates the idea of humanity as an integral part of nature, or, as itself being nature and not separate from it. From the artists’ exhibition statement: <em>“With nature, with the Earth and the heavens, with the animals and with each other, humans share, grow, and create together. Our life is a gift and too often nature is taken for granted. We must re-learn to cherish… our natural world: our true ultimate caretaker.”</em><br>

Berkopec and Simone are also known for having recently created a philanthropic organization called <a href="http://adorama.cmail1.com/t/r-l-auuikhy-ituyydhkjj-a/" target="_blank">Curators for a Cause</a>, which focuses on progressive causes such as human rights, social justice and equality, environmentalism and more.<br>
