“The Earth is a Tree Full of Poems Like Mushrooms of the Air” was a group exhibition that explored questions at the intersection of land, water, extraction, sovereignty, violence, and resistance. Through material and speculative works, the exhibition presented a wide panorama of media approaches, including film, models, sculpture, photography, collages, and installations.
