All of the Critters and a few Rapid Mapping are included in the group exhibition:

Techno-Ecologies and Bodies of Memory: The Environment as Battleground is a multilayered exhibition that develops through satellite spaces and artistic interventions, extending across geographies and media.

 

The project looks at the environment as a contended, contested, and torn arena, in which political, social, and economic forces and tensions converge and conflict. Amidst the global environmental crisis, wars, and ongoing genocides, the exhibition navigates the complexities of the bonds between all connected forms of matter on our planet. In particular, it explores more-than-humans as sites of memory. Within this framework, it examines critically the part played by digital technologies, and the ambivalent modes of shaping the set of relationships between organisms and their ecosystems, as well as the governance and preservation of data. Looking at the environment as a theatre of conflicts and, simultaneously, as a fighting subject, in what ways does it embody, transform, expose or, conversely, hide or erase wounds and scars? 

 

The artworks included in the exhibition critically reflect upon the modes by which colonialisms and imperialisms have performed domination and oppression on and through the environment over time. These questions are addressed through the exhibition, as well as a series of workshops and talks, a booklet, and a satellite programme.
