We invite the community and local people to
explore and practice critical thinking with us in times of multiplicity and
complexity. There will be a focus on the importance of emancipatory action,
collective growth and transformation.
Artistic interventions represent an attempt to
look beyond existing systems and engage with new perspectives. The ecological
alternatives are a new holistic thinking that connects cosmology and nature in
a spiritual way and affirms the need for respect diversity in both human and
non-human forms. To deepen the notion of biodiversity, the home - our soil and
soul of our non-human kinfolks will form a refuge and center for body, art and
unity. With "Same things make us laugh, make us cry" we establish our
own language to explore and present new ways of thinking.
Between the aims and values of our curatorial
practice and those of sustainable agro-ecosystem science, there are key
similarities in terms of opening up new sustainable systems of knowledge, and
implementing concrete solutions. In this regard, we are engaged with
biodiversity, the harmonious merging of tradition and modernity, and working to
strengthen communities. We are about being pro-active in the community by
curatorially trying to set activist and healing gestures.
