Connecting people and ideas through art

Drawing on the KWAG Permanent Collection, A Broken Planet builds on the themes of SOS: A Story of Survival, Part III – The Planet by looking at ways that environmental harm can be found in the collection.

SOS: A Story of Survival is a three-part exhibition exploring what survival is, what it looks like and what it means to survive. Part III – The Planet draws attention back to the matter of our world: to the rocks beneath our feet, the air in our lungs and the water throughout and all around us.

This dream pays for its space in my heart uses sculpture, drawing, sound, installation and poetry to engage personal and political aspects of respective ancestral traditions to negotiate human relationships with nature, land and nationhood. The featured artists emphasize that the relationship between land and body is porous, holding history, memory and feeling.
