Embodied Futures & the Ecology of Care: Opening Reception

About

Embodied Futures & the Ecology of Care serves as a nexus of art, biology, technology, and ethics, raising the essential question: How can the concept of “care” extend beyond the human sphere? By inviting viewers to see care as a dynamic force that sustains and nurtures all beings, this curation encourages us to break free of the hierarchical limitations often associated with the term.

"Embodied futures," as conceptualized within this exhibition, refers to a future where bodies, ecologies, and technologies merge. The artists challenge us to imagine a world where “care” becomes an inherent part of the fabric of existence, inspiring empathy and reciprocity across species and ecosystems.
