Save the Date: Planetary Poetics Graduation Show
Let us dive deeper and relate wider – are we willing to listen to the roots, swamps, mangroves, seeds, peatlands, trees, islands, tidal flats, moss and sand around us – what lessons wait to be learnt?
The exhibition Planetary Poetics, presented at Framer Framed from 11 to 14 June, brings together the work of cultural practitioners from the eponymous temporary master’s programme at the Sandberg Instituut. Situated amidst the unfolding ecological catastrophe and multiple ongoing genocides around the world, the programme invited participants to explore practices – artistic and otherwise – that could function as tools for resistance and solidarity.
Over the past two years, the participants have developed individual research projects alongside a large group of collaborators, including exchanges with Atelier Picha (DRC) and Futuros Indígenas (Milpamérica). Together, they have considered how to imagine alternative visions for this planet beyond extraction and extermination and how to hold space for the profound grief inherent to liberation work.
Their practices offer critical and imaginative positions toward social and environmental crises – grounded in an engagement that allows space for different methodologies, experiences, cosmologies and beliefs.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a public programme of activations including performances, readings, talks, a puppet show, live-radio shows, and a walking tour.
