Inspired by Jack Halberstam’s understanding of ‘the wild’ as a resistant ontology and as an “uneven space of aesthetic power”, the exhibition will assemble stories of practices that contribute to increasing the sheer amount of care and love in/on the planet, resisting cynicism and toxic irresponsibility.

Wild Care showcases ‘stories’ through texts of various kinds, lengths, and registers, accompanied by images that capture some of their core dimensions. The main stories are printed on long, vertical panels which hang at eye height in the main room of the exhibition. Complementary to these core stories, there are other complementary images and texts organized above and below them, laterally conceived as immaterial and material side stories, respectively.

Additionally, the exhibition offers a selection of films and clips, both as precise instances of the kind of ‘caring wildness’ that some of the stories are driven by and as expansions beyond the limits set by our own project, contributing to creating a diverse and unstable understanding of ‘wildness’ and ‘wild care’.

Wild Care aims to rewire our understandings of care by rethinking ‘the wild’ as a mode of un-knowing and a renewal of our capacity for amazement and bewilderment in the hold of a body-to-body relation to the world and the relays of forms of life beyond the human.
