BLIND MAGAZINE: Intersectional Geographies - The Canary and the Hammer (review)

Press/Media: Other

Description

For the exhibition, the photographer and curator has channeled the term [intersectional] to weave a nexus of perspectives by 12 artists, including Lisa Barnard, Darek Fortas, Aida Silvestri, Rhiannon Adam, and David Severn. Geographies, the second part of the title, points towards a consideration of the human relationship to the land and nature, all explored through the visual language of photography.

In this sense, the exhibition recognizes poly perspectivity amongst dichotomies between different individual and planetary bodies, exposing their entanglement. It takes up different lenses as it zooms in from the larger conversations that address our climate crisis and industrial practices such as coal and gold extraction or fracking, and folds in conversations such as artisan and indigenous-run-small-scale mines, as well as impetus towards manipulation and violence embroiled with the darker side of human behaviour.
