Multimedia-exhibition Opening with artworks by Studio 33/3, Devadeep Gupta and Julia Schuster.
Oyouns latest curatorial focus Listening to the Land launches with “Species, Soil and Successors” by Arijit Bhattacharyya, a curatorial project consisting of three chapters.
In its second segment “Soil and Successor”, the project holds space for artistic engagement in peripheral socioecologies. Through a remote artist residency with Studio 33/3, Swagata Bhattacharyya and Binita Limbani, the project confronts us with another reality where climate catastrophe structures everyday life. The resulting multimedia exhibition, which is on display at Oyoun between 15 and 26 July will present audiovisual works of some of the residency artists as well as of the artists Devadeep Gupta and Julia Schuster. Some of the video works will be screened at the launch event on 15 July as well.
We are surviving through an epoch of spiraling ecological devastation, multispecies extinction and military extractivism. The notion of a collective future beyond human existence is still a far imagination. Though imagination is an essential practice. Imagination succors knowledge applicable in problem-solving and is elemental to integrating experiences in learning. How do we imagine a pluriversal multispecies future? "Species, Soil and Successors" imagines framing a complex practice-oriented enquiry into intersectional climate justice by listening to people who are often sidelined. The project tries to imagine a world beyond the colonial touch.
