In 1735, Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus invented a system of biological classification known as Taxonomy. Within it exists Kingdom Animalia, comprised of ten million species, everything on planet Earth that either swims, walks or flies including elephants, mosquitos, goldfish, snakes, cows, pigs and us, humans. With equal parts humor, hope and despair the artwork of Citizen Animalia calls us to re-examine the complex relationship between us, humans, and our fellow members of Kingdom Animalia.

Participating Artists include: Rene Arceo, Brandon Ballengée, Mizraim Cárdenas, Sue Coe, Whit Deschner/The Great Salt Lick, Mark Dion, Nicholas Galanin, Roie Galitz, Laurel Roth Hope, Jenny Kenndler and Brian Kirkbride, Sonia Levy, Ricardo Linares, Norman W.
