Siamo Foresta (We Are Forest) draws its inspiration from an aesthetic and political vision of the forest as an egalitarian multiverse of living beings, human and non-human, offering an allegory of a possible world beyond our anthropocentrism. The exhibition stages an unprecedented encounter between thinkers and defenders of the forest, Indigenous artists – from New Mexico to the Paraguayan Chaco through the Amazon – and non-Indigenous artists (Brazil, China, Colombia, France).
