with Ravi Agarwal und Uriel Orlow
If you like to engage with ecological and social questions facing the world we live in, join us for this workshop with artists
Ravi Agarwal and
Uriel Orlow.
This workshop brings ecology, science and art into a close dialogue and will discuss how such a dialogue manifests within a research-based approach to artistic practice, share different strategies and methods, and engage with questions of representation and poetics. Taking Ravi’s and Uriel’s works as a starting point, we will engage in short fieldwork and deep listening exercises to cultivate new ways of engaging with the multi-layered ecosystems surrounding us.
Maximum number of participants: 15-20.
No participation fee. Limited places. Register here.
Ravi Agarwal has an interdisciplinary practice as a photographer/ artist, environmental campaigner, writer and curator. His work has been shown widely in museums and international biennials. He is also the founder of the environmental NGO Toxics Link, and The Shyama Foundation’s Shared Ecologies program which promotes art and ecology practices. His latest photobook is The Power Plant – fragments in time (2023), and he is Co- Convenor of the forthcoming Bergen Assembly 2025.
Uriel Orlow lives and works between Lisbon, London and Zurich. His practice is research-driven, process-oriented and often in dialogue with other disciplines and people. Projects engage with residues of colonialism, spatial manifestations of memory, social and ecological justice, blind spots of representation and plants as political actors. His multi-media installations focus on specific locations, micro-histories and forms of haunting. Working across installation, photography, film, drawing, sound and gardens his works bring different image-regimes and narrative modes into correspondence.
