Aimed at inspiring global consciousness, transcending all of humanity to higher ethics and a more inclusive space-time, this exhibition connects the dots between our overlapping crises of - and shared and individual response to climate change, de-personalized self; the increasingly difficult interaction between humans and humans, and humans and nature.
Each Artist raises awareness on the complexities of the world that surrounds us, alerting us to the ruptures in our relationship with it, and the agent that has set us on this path: imperialism - a permanent pillage of life. A project to appropriate nature, to render it profitable and subservient to the needs of industry, as imposition, as the silencing of local knowledge, and erasure of the other. Imperialism as a triple violence: cultural violence through negation; economic violence through exploitation; and political violence through oppression.
