Description | We live like trees inside the footsteps of our ancestors is an exhibition co-curated by Dr Mariana Cunha (University of Westminster) and Dr Marianna Tsionki (Leeds Arts University). This curatorial research explores forms of ecological thinking in contemporary art, focusing on how environmental shifts and crises come to bear on artistic practices from Latin America. The exhibition showcases the works of four artists, Marianne Hoffmeister Castro, Jeannette Muñoz, Renata Padovan and Maya Watanabe, who offer new perspectives on the human-nature relationship. Through their radical visions of the environment, these artists challenge conventional ideologies of landscape and territorial ownership, standing apart from traditional colonial thinking. |
