WHAT
The Puerto Rico-based artists explore the concept of Gǎnyìng or ‘sympathetic resonance.’ The exhibition includes a range of works that connect significant historical moments with current global and climate crises, exploring the intersection of philosophy, history, and ecology. It features new works such as ‘Aeolian Charts’, a series of large-scale watercolour works on paper that consider the poetic potential inherent in climate modelling; and ‘Penumbra’, a digital shadow animation that recreates the effect of light passing through foliage in Martinique.

WHY
The exhibition is an exploration of the intersection of art and ecology, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between human and more-than-human forces, geopolitical and geological powers, climate and historical time. It is also accompanied by an illustrated publication featuring a newly commissioned study on the implications of Gǎnyìng in contemporary, global ecopoetics, adding a scholarly dimension to the exhibition.
