Yinka Shonibare participates in 'A Gathering on Art and Land'
A Gathering on Art and Land is a day centring art and design-led approaches to planting, farming, seeding, gardening and burying. Through conversations and presentations, the event explores our relationship to the land, using ground and soil practices to start ecological conversations and reveal their potential for transformation, regeneration, and hope.
This gathering advocates for imagination and coexistence with the non-human world, platforming alternative ways of understanding and relating to the land in the face of a destructive, globalised discourse. Highlighting the importance of creativity, Indigenous land management and communal engagement, A Gathering on Art and Land underscores the transformative power of culture and stewardship, emphasising how artists engage directly with the earth in their practices.
As part of the day's program, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA will be in-conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist at 3pm, speaking about his exhibition Suspended States and his longstanding commitment to ecology in his practice.
Other speakers include Kalpana Arias, Marcus Coates, Sky Hopinka, Caroline Jones, Remi Kuforiji, Eva Papamargariti, Carla Subrizi and Graeme Smith.
