Esto ha sido Sensing Interdependence en de Appel en Amsterdam. Encuentros, estudio, investigación, planificación, colaboración, interconexión, complicidad, agradecimiento. Una muestra no fue, mas bien se trató de un proyecto que contó con el reconocimiento institucional del Italian Council del Ministero della Cultura, con personas y organizaciones dispuestas a conversar e intercambiar, se produjo un espacio de enriquecimiento y fortalecimiento de relaciones.

Sensing Interdependence ha sido una oportunidad para mirar nuestro trabajo de manera conjunta, poner en orden ideas y mirar con otros ojos nuestra obra y nuestro compromiso.

Pronto habrá noticias del magnífico catálogo que estamos preparando junto a Viaindustriae.

Aquí una breve reseña visual.

Join a tour of our current exhibition 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 by curator Aria Spinelli!

𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 is a retrospective exhibition on the work of the Italian art collective Arts For the Commons (A4C), a collaboration between Ecuadorian artist Rosa Jijón and activist and artistic researcher Francesco Martone. The exhibition tackles the notion of interdependence between nature and humans. It is guest-curated by Aria Spinelli and Angelo Castucci.

Through the perspective of A4C’s artistic methodology, the exhibition proposes to rethink interconnected empathic, tactile, and political relations in the context of the rights of nature and the rights of people(s). The works on show ask audiences to harness interdependency in order to navigate the complexities of climate justice, resistance against extractivism, the legal personhood of ecosystems, and new institutional art forms in the ecological crises of our times. By conceptually revisiting the collective’s research and production, the exhibition proposes a small archipelago of three installations hosting the artworks, curated around three core aspects of A4C’s artistic approach. These islands map geographies of mobility and communities’ resistance, going beyond anthropocentrism and the rights of nature.
