“The Museum of Vibrant Matter, asks us to pay attention and attune to our local biological, technical, and hybrid materialities as an act of care towards ourselves, other living things, our soils, water, and geology. Encourages us to adopt radical, yet humble, attitudes beyond anthropo-supremacy so we can collectively design preferable material futures that regenerate us, our communities, and our terrestrial/ aquatic/ marine habitats.
The exhibition draws on cultural memories and new material experiments to re-activate our sensorial knowledge and other knowledge about our local materials. Material memories and new experiments will be exhibited, demonstrating material practices and co-constructing a living Archive of Vibrant Matter with designers, local experts, and citizens.”
