How to talk with birds, trees, fish, shells, snakes, lions and bulls

Nov 16, 2018 - Mar 31, 2019
The exhibition was initiated by Antje Majewski (born 1968 in Marl, Germany); an artist whose work often explores nature/culture relations. Her artistic practice is both collaborative and trans-disciplinary. Majewski is interested in the imaginative potential of art and its ability to tell stories in ways that are open and accountable to diverse audiences. She has invited artists to engage in an ongoing dialogue and present its results in the exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin.

How to talk with birds, trees, fish, shells, snakes, lions and bulls takes artists’ interactions with endangered places, societies and environments as points of departure. They investigate how such ecosystems and social structures are enlivened by their inhabitants and what efforts are being made to preserve them. The artistic approaches to our natural and cultural habitats raise questions that will require an answer in the years to come, since the fate of mankind is linked to that of all other inhabitants of the planetary ecosystems. Speaking with the world in its local details implies interacting with it as a whole. Such interaction is inevitably both historical and political.
