Visions from the Amazon

14 February – 9 April 2025

Visions from the Amazon examines the intricate relationships between humans and the more-than-human elements of the Amazon rainforest—namely, its trees, water and light. Emerging from doctoral research, this exhibition showcases works by artists from various parts of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, representing the artistic practice of diverse communities, including Indigenous peoples, rubber tappers, as well as those living in riverine and urban areas. In the photographs, videos and paintings featured in the show, plant collectivism, the agency of water, and forest light act together as powerful mediums for advocacy and creative expression. The exhibition features the work of Claudia Andujar, Denilson Baniwa, Rosa Gauditano, Nay Jinknss, Luciana Magno, Hélio Melo, Paula Sampaio, and Tayná Satere.

CURSED OBJECTS IN MUSEUM SHOPS

2 May – 26 June 2025

When we think about museums we rarely start at the shop - but the objects sold in museums can tell us just as much about museums as their exhibitions and prize objects. They are an important part of the cultural experience of museum visiting. This installation explores the 'cursed' nature of the unassuming objects found in museum shops. They are cursed not by magic or religion, but by the complex meanings that surround them. How are museum shops ideological spaces, and what can they tell us about museums?
