The title of the exhibition refers to the book Sand Talk, How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World by Tyson Yunkaporta. This book looks at stalled global systems from an indigenous knowledge perspective. Sand Talks are conversational formats that bring together generations, geology, flora and fauna, non-linear time and memory. This way of thinking leads to surprising and profound insights.
The participating artists express their deeper layer; the thoughts and values that fuel their work. Their themes range from evolution, climate change and dealing with the earth to femicide, slavery history, encounters, nature, cultural identity and rediscovered values.
Disciplines on show include photography, painting techniques, installations and performance. The artists have used a variety of materials - from paper to steel and textiles.
The artworks invite reflection and conversation: the sand talks the exhibition aims to evoke.
Participating artists:
Angeline Donk , Bernet Ragetli, Berthe Lemmens, Caroline Bijl, Edson Bruno Filhó, Netty Gelijsteen, Nora van Klingeren and Karin Balog.
