Future Genealogies, Tales From The Equatorial Line

24.10–24.11.2019: 6th Lubumbashi Biennale, Lubumbashi, DRC

Future Genealogies, Tales From The Equatorial Line takes the Equator’s imaginary line not as one of demarcation—the majestic Congo River disregards it by straddling it twice—but rather of imbrication. At its closest a place where earth gravity alleviates and where the poles’ magnetic attractions balance each other, the equatorial latitude opens the possibility for narratives that respond to alternate compasses, recognizes new centers of gravity and where de-polarized stories can unfold.

Kanssaelo / Being(s)-with

19.05–15.09.2019: 1st Fiskars Biennale, Fiskars, FI

The exhibition title Being(s) with draws our attention from human-centered thinking to how everything is connected through various intertwining, co-dependent materials, beings and technologies.

Its twenty selected artists provide an extensive study of how non-human factors and powers shape our lives.
