Three communities from three different parts of the world come together to explore and share knowledge on our relationship with nature with stories, photos, film and cross-cultural objects of these places and new-found friendships.
Nadeem Alkarimi, Qadir Jhatial and Sadqain Riaz (Pakistan and the Karachi Biennale), Rafael Vilela (Brazil) with the Guarani Mbya Community, and Eelyn Lee (United Kingdom and the Richmond Arts & Ideas Festival) find common ground through rivers, caring for ecology and championing marginalised voices.
This project, supported by the British Council, has grown over the last twelve months, through a series of online sharings – Wisdom Conversations – hosted by each place and culture. The artists’ work was on view as part of the Richmond Arts & Ideas Festival and now comes together at Orleans House Gallery.
Artists in this exhibition include:
