How much longer will we have these lands to care for? In the current crises contexts of warfare and rising sea levels, this exhibition explores gender and ecology through the everyday and peripheral encounters of artist-women and non-binary artists with land and landscape. By positioning care as a cartographic practice, the exhibition challenges dominant spatial histories and foregrounds intimate practices we have with the land. Cartographies of Care offers landscapes not as monumental conquests, but as relational fields shaped by bodies, memory and lived experience. The artists invite viewers to consider how landscapes might be held by humans rather than mastered, and how art can cultivate forms of ecological relation rooted in attentiveness rather than assertion.
