‘I, Present’ A group exhibition exploring climate emergency through the senses, sustainability, and action.

The Climate Emergency is telling us to stop, re-think, and see our surroundings differently. Reconnect, be grounded, step forward. The Climate Emergency needs action! The same action when the sensorial methodology is applied in the arts. How many times
have you touched an artwork? How do you engage beyond the sign of seeing? Why do we find ourselves so restrictive? Your body takes a new meaningful process through movement and engagement when your senses are involved. You are having a global
perception, you are learning, and that is because you are present.

This exhibition explores the Climate Emergency and its dimensions and effects while learning about it with the involvement in, with, and through art, making suggestions to create links between disciplines to support meaning-making and metaphors and bring in a wider solution for climate change.

Most of the artwork, installation, and design has been made with recycled, sustainable, and pre-loved materials promoting sustainable and ethical practices as a way of continuous life cycle.

The exhibition showcases a group of emerging and established artists exploring different art forms and mediums but finding a common ground through a multicultural and sustainable bridge between India, UK, Spain, and Ecuador: Poojan Gupta
