🪐 COMING SOON 🪐 🌿 We're so excited to announce Cosmotechnics, a new exhibition curated by our Curator-in-Residence, Beatrice Zaidenberg, which opens on Fri 8 Nov! 🌿 Cosmotechnics delves into the relationship between culture and technology through the lens of three Latin American artists. Each artwork becomes a portal to rethink our relationship with technology, using plants as a guide. 🌿 Using sculpture, video, and sound to create immersive installations, Rebeca Romero, Patricia Domínguez and Atractor Studio challenge the idea that technology is the same everywhere and across all cultures.
