A World in Common

By adopting the perspective of the owl, the field mouse, or even the dandelion, the works gathered in this exhibition shift our perspective. They encourage us to consider how the land welcomes us and how we share it with other species, inviting us to commit to a pluralistic, supportive, and deeply relational world. Through acts of care, collaborative approaches to creation, and attention to interspecies ethics, these works offer a broad understanding of the notion of hospitality and encourage us to rethink our ways of “inhabiting.” Together, they explore the possibility of “a world in common” where all living beings can flourish.
