“‘𝘔𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘥’is composed of eight sent postcards, murmuring the fragments of ‘home’ while the segments of landscapes and scenes assemble into a new place provided by a wild boar—a oneness of the wild and our home. Like the story of ‘The Blind Men and the Elephant,’ it’s easy to mistake the part for the whole; each postcard offers a unique perspective yet contributes to a larger narrative. To the artist, wild boars symbolize the wild spirit of liberty, fertility, and bravery under oppression in her paintings.”

In ‘𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙧’, artists encourage us to view our cities and landscapes from a primarily four-legged perspective. Bringing together more than 40 artists and collectives, drawing from politics, history, economics and urbanism, the exhibition is a playful yet serious exploration of human-animal relationships in these shared geographies. In cities designed primarily for humans, radically separated from nature, kept captive for food or show, animals are often seen as either pets or pests. Despite this, animals find ways to prosper in urban gaps and find communities that welcome them. They resist control and management strategies, compelling us to think about what coexistence truly means.
