Whispers from Tides and Forests

It is an exhibition of quiet tones and at the same time of delicate, new stories that we should start telling in times of crisis and upheaval. Against the backdrop of climate change, threats to and exploitation of landscapes, forests and rivers, as well as waves of migration as a result of extreme climatic or political situations that are currently becoming increasingly apparent around the world, we need new narratives that may differ from the stories we have told so far. After all, as the professor and anthropologist Anna Tsing recently put it, we should prepare ourselves today to do without the old narratives that could tell us where we are going next.
The invited, internationally active artists make these subtle, new narratives possible, which place people in a new relationship between space, time and body. They tell of care and diligence in the coexistence of people and nature, but also of moving forward and the power of resilience, without ignoring current events. They offer a glimpse into the world - from South America to Europe - to crisis-ridden places and themes of vulnerability and loss, but also to trees, forest floors with mushroom cultures, rivers and landscapes full of beauty, poetry and the future.
