I would like to curate an exhibition that focuses on positive approaches to eco-art. Many eco-artists nowadays show human destruction of the environment, emphasising disaster and a desperate future. While these works are important, they also tend to visually fatigue the viewer and bring about a sense of powerlessness.
I want to take a different approach. I want to show how humans and nature can co-exist and innovative ways to solve ecological problems. The exhibition will not frighten people, but inspire hope and action. The works will present real solutions to climate change and ecological destruction.
The idea came from my thinking about how art affects emotions. I find that many environmentally-themed exhibitions leave people feeling helpless. I want to tell another story – that nature is resilient and that humans can help fix it. My goal is to curate an exhibition that inspires people and makes them believe in the possibility of change.
The exhibition will include different forms of art. Some of the works will use ‘living’ materials such as plants, fungi and clay. The exhibition will allow people to experience nature and to feel at one with it.
The key words of the exhibition are ‘connection and regeneration’. It will not ignore environmental issues but emphasise how we can address the challenges. Through the exhibition, I hope to give people hope and realise that everyone’s actions can make a difference. By showcasing the reviving beauty of nature, I hope to give viewers confidence in the future.
