Symbiotic Ecologies: Artist & curator talks

Join us for an exhibition walkthrough with curator Kath Fries and fellow exhibiting artists Ellen Dahl, Talitha Kennedy and Eduardo Wolfe-Alegria.

Symbiotic Ecologies engages with ecological thinking as foundational to renewed symbiotic relationships with nature, affirming the interconnectedness of life and all living things. This approach seeks to counter the pervasive pessimism of eco- anxiety and solastalgia, feelings of loss associated with negative environmental changes that have already occurred.

Working across diverse media including sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, and photomedia, the artists use materials such as ash, resin, textiles, leather, fungi, and beeswax to create multi-sensory works that invite emotive and multifaceted understandings of ourselves as enmeshed within complex biodiversity.
