This is an exhibition of quiet tones as well as the delicate new stories that we should begin telling in these times of crisis and upheaval. In the face of climate change, landscapes, forests and rivers under threat, and the mass migration caused by the extreme global climatic and political situations that are becoming increasingly apparent, we need to find new narratives that might not be the same as the previous ones. Because, as the professor and anthropologist Anna Tsing recently explained, we should now prepare ourselves to survive without the old stories that could tell us what happens next.

The internationally active artists involved in the exhibition facilitate these subtle new narratives that position human beings in a new relationship between space, time and body. They are about a caring, considerate coexistence between people and nature, but also progress and the power of resilience—without dismissing current events. They offer us a glimpse of the world, from South America to Europe, showing us turbulent places and themes of vulnerability and loss, but also trees, forest floors and their mushroom cultures, rivers and landscapes full of beauty, poetry and the future.
