Hu(man) Nature
by Isabelle Thul
Hu(man) Nature is a group show presenting works by the artists giacinta frisillo, Hana Wilde and Sukhy Parhar. Visitors to the exhibition are welcomed into an hypothetical landscape in which performances and sculptural works inspire an agency and activism within the individual.
Approaching ecology from an intersectional feminist position, Hu(man) Nature responds to the web of exploitation that has led to our current ecological crisis. The works challenge current modes of production upon which the exploitation of land and its resources is built, by stressing the interrelatedness of human and non-human nature. Critiquing the constructed hyper-separation* between species, nations, races and classes the exhibition calls for a more holistic understanding of ecological practices.
The project was awarded 'Highly Commended' at the Degree Show Prize 2019 run by the sustainability department at the Glasgow School of Art.
