Specially conceived for Triennale Milano, linked to the territory and in continuation of a long-term dialogue initiated by the Fondation Cartier over 20 years ago, Siamo Foresta (We Are Forest) is an experience of exchanges and encounters between artists, thinkers, and ardent defenders of the forest, on both sides of the Atlantic. All of them voice a fundamental esthetic and political message on the necessity of rethinking our place in the living world.
Siamo Foresta 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 interactions 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).
