A new exhibition at Florida International University's Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum, Path of the Panther, celebrates the Florida panther as a symbol of resilience, hope, and a call to action for the preservation of Florida’s natural heritage.
Explore the striking work of National Geographic explorer and conservation photographer Carlton Ward Jr. Photographs document Carlton's six-year endeavor to document the panther’s life, environment, and journey through the Florida Wildlife Corridor.
"Inspired by FIU researchers and scientists’ enduring commitment to the survival of the Florida panther, The Frost Art Museum is proud to present Path of the Panther. Through the lens of National Geographic photographer Carlton Ward Jr., this remarkable exhibition raises awareness of the panther’s plight and compels us to reflect on our shared responsibility to protect the Everglades and its inhabitants,” said Miriam Machado, Interim Director of The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum at FIU. “The Florida panther, a powerful symbol of resilience and strength, holds a special connection to FIU as our university mascot. This exhibition not only highlights the beauty and perseverance of these endangered creatures but also serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things and the critical role we play in preserving the delicate balance of our ecosystems.”
Path of the Panther is now on view through April 19, 2025. For more information on the exhibition, please visit The Frost Art Museum’s website here.
