‘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.

Veronica is an interdisciplinary practitioner and independent curator with experience leading and managing ethical and activist curatorial art projects. Having studied design, multimedia production, arts, and museum cultures; Veronica brings a wider perspective and insight to collaborative and participatory projects. Veronica is interested in social activism as the tool to create meaningful, educative, and creative encounters with the audience.
