In the group exhibition Worldmaking Tentacles, technological, ecological, and spiritual wisdoms meet to conjure an array of possible futures. The artists summon phoenix-like moments in which nature emerges outside of colonial-patriarchal destructive relations; bodies transcend race, gender, and sexuality; and ancestral knowledge is wedded with technology. Each in their own way, the artists are concerned with a reconditioning of historical, linguistic, and scientific imaginaries. In this postnatural, posthuman universe, the past gains multiple tentacles that shapeshift toward a myriad of speculative, caring futures.
