While many eco-art exhibitions centre on disasters and warnings, my curatorial idea focuses on hope, reconstruction and symbiosis. The exhibition invites artists to use installation, video and interactive works to show how nature repairs itself and how human beings can promote environmental restoration through art. Modern eco-art can no longer be limited to traditional media, but rather incorporates means such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology to explore changes in the ecosystem. For example, bio-artists use microorganisms, fungi, and recycled materials to create works that show how life adapts to environmental changes. This allows viewers to directly engage with the works, making the exhibition a co-created ecological space. If the public is allowed to change from viewers to practitioners.

For example, the Danish/Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, together with Minik Rosing, a geologist at the Danish Museum of Natural History in Copenhagen, ‘harvested’ the ice from Greenland and transported it to central London. Once displayed in a public area, the ice will slowly melt until it disappears.

Rohin chimed in, ‘These blocks of ice are not just here for their beauty, they hold a story. If you walk right up to one of the 24 ice blocks outside the Tate, you’ll notice that they’re all individual, creature-like, and they’re watching you. If you put your ear close to them, you will hear a sound like popcorn. They are distinct beings that speak to us of another world that is very different from today’s world.‘The ice gradually melts over the course of the exhibition, allowing visitors to touch, feel and observe the impacts of climate change. This immersive experience breaks down the abstract nature of climate data and allows scientific facts to enter the public consciousness in an intuitive and emotional way.
