In our daily hustle, we often overlook our reliance on the environment. Enclosed within the human-made places, we forget the bonds with the land. Since the agrarian revolutions, humanity has gradually gained a sense of dominance over the ecosystem, relegating the environment to mere background noise.
At the same time, our exploitative relationship with the land and its inhabitants has reached various thresholds of environmental resilience, resulting in unprecedented degradation. This exposes not only the fragility of ecosystems but also our own vulnerability.
In the midst of the unfolding eco-social crisis, many of us are thus looking into alternative modes of self-organisation that would recognise interconnectivity and interdependencies humans form with and within the global ecosystems, emphasising a perspective of care.
The exhibition forms a multi-layered narrative, offering the audience various points of entry into the realm of human and other-than-human interactions. It presents life as an entanglement of possibilities and unexpected perspectives. Through interdisciplinary dialogue, it reveals a multi-faceted reality of relations, moving beyond the dualistic divide
