Beyond Our Bodies Our Beings Extend, PILOT Gallery, Riga, Latvia,
01/11/2024 – 12/01/2025
Caves of Our Insides explores our connections to the Earth, tracing how iron links human bodies to planet's core. It reflects on iron’s dual role as both a life-giver, essential to blood and breath, and a force of destruction, forged into weapons that disrupt various forms of beings.
The work was created for the exhibition Beyond Our Bodies Our Beings Extend at the PILOT Gallery in Riga, Latvia, which was organised by Sabīne Šnē with like-minded collaborators.
Artists: Sofia Lùndari (Italy), MARIA (US), Natasha Viosna Moody (UK), Hannah Morgan (UK), Djuna O’Neill (Ireland), Louis Rizzo Naudi (UK), Sabīne Šnē (Latvia), Agate Tūna (Latvia) and Ella Yolande (UK).
In addition to the gallery exhibition, an online platform extends the conversation beyond visual arts. It features written responses to the works from experts across fields such as environmental law, molecular biology, neuroscience, regenerative agriculture, architecture, and more.
Curator of the exhibition and online platform: Nastia Svarevka (UK).
The work has also been shown at RIO Cinema (London, 2024) during the event Granny Ludski’s Wild Gardening.
