True transformation often takes root within continuous, tangible, and small-scale actions.<\/p>\n
By initiating an ecosystem cultivation on a modest 54cm \u00d7 145cm plot upon the museum’s terrace, we are practicing how to live alongside botanical life. Through the museum’s bird-strike prevention spatial retrofitting initiative, we rendezvous as scheduled with migratory avian species. By adopting Luye Park as our communal allotment, we gather and co-create alongside newly met human companions.<\/p>\n
Entering its second consecutive year, the OPEN-class Art Community Project continues its public practical exploration into the intersection of ecological relations and art. This year, we aim to cultivate fresh friendships and networks of care through the “Practice of Coexistence”: between humans, plants, and other non-human lives, as well as among previously unacquainted human individuals.<\/p>\n
How can the interests of non-human life forms\u2014such as plants, animals, and microorganisms\u2014be seamlessly integrated into the decision-making processes of human organisations? On Earth Day 2022, the Nieuwe Instituut (HNI) in Rotterdam officially launched Zo\u00f6p: an innovative organisational governance model. A Zo\u00f6p\u2014signifying an “organisation cooperating with zo\u00eb (Greek for ‘life’)”\u2014serves as an alternative institutional framework where human actions interface deeply with non-human life, ensuring that ecological voices and interests inform core decisions and working methodologies.<\/p>\n
Inspired by the Zo\u00f6p framework, we wish to explore whether our museum’s physical footprint can be extended into a multi-species friendly sanctuary, auditing our interior spatial usage to build an ecological testing ground that bridges humanity with non-human lives, and ecological knowledge with civic action.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[1],"event_category":[82,64],"class_list":["post-7016","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","category-a4-art-museum","event_category-open-class","event_category-community-activity"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/7016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7016"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=7016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
