The Charge That Binds
The Charge That Binds celebrates the dynamism, vitality and power of natural phenomena and the more-than-human world, reminding us of what is at stake at a time of ecological emergency. Infused with both optimism and grief, the exhibition draws together works that celebrate a world composed of multifaceted, multispecies relations and pulses 鈥� foregrounding and reimaging modes of relationality and connection beyond the disruptive, extractive logic of capital.
The Charge That Binds presents recent artworks by Australian and international artists, alongside several key new commissions, traversing a broad range of mediums including painting, sculpture, moving image, sound and choreography. This lively assembly of practices celebrates and cultivates interdependency and reciprocity across difference in both a poetic and pragmatic register.
Grappling with the entwined issues of ongoing climate change and entrenched social inequity, works presented conjure new (and old) stories about our interconnectedness with the living world and each other, underscored by a recognition that natural exploitation, cultural domination and territorial occupation are often part of ongoing colonial processes and thinking.
