About

THIS CITY WAS A FOREST explores the deep interconnection between nature and urban landscapes. Reflecting on Timothy Morton’s assertion that “Nature is not a place to visit. It is home,” this exhibition challenges the anthropocentric view of humanity as the centre of the universe. Gilles Deleuze’s words, “We do not belong to any territory. We are always and already deterritorialise,” underscore the fluidity of our existence within these spaces. As we navigate through this transformation, Donna Haraway’s call to “stay with the trouble” echoes, urging us to reconsider our role in a rapidly changing ecosystem. THIS CITY WAS A FOREST exhibition envisions the future where human and non-human agents coexist, redefining the boundaries of our shared environment.
