Kaze ga wataru,
Hikari no kirameki

(Tree shadows,
Wind passing through,
Glimmering light)

– Bashō

Inspired by Basho’s haiku and the speculations of Eduardo Kohn in  How Forests Think. “The Glittering Field” explores the nature of transmission delving into themes of call and response, spirit, DNA, and the contemplation of the void. Featuring an array of artists and thinkers, wielding text, tech, and textiles,  the show will examine communications across species, cultures, and genealogies to unveil the subtle and unseen connections that bind us.

Onome Ekeh
