Description
How do we ensure sustainability of nature for growing urban populations? The Gatherers is an exhibition that brings together work from a diverse group of practitioners who combine art with cultural activism to answer this question. Through the lens of artistic practices, the works attempt to green our urban spheres, and touch upon broad range of interlinking matters, from environmental issues to urban spatial justice. Since the experience of nature is a conditioned response that varies from one culture to the next, The Gatherers brings groups from varying cultures and urban locales, and grass-root organizations together to exchange and explore these differences and similarities. Through interactive programs, urban interventions and dialogs, the project creates a meeting ground for discussing how green pockets of social space can form within any given urban environment.
