In “No Man’s Sky: Braiding Sweetgrass,”
the precipice of an era where art profoundly communed with both the ecosystem and the entanglements of our shared histories was highlighted. Showcasing the distinctive artistic journey of Azerbaijani artist Elnara Nasirli, her practice was anchored in her background in environmental technology and politics, echoing deeply personal experiences of physical pain. Curated to dramatically alter the museum’s spaces, this exhibition was a tribute to the transformative power of artistic expression and biomorphic art, weaving them with broader ecological and cultural narratives, emphasizing the intrinsic bond between Georgia and Azerbaijan.
“Existence is not an individual affair. Individuals do not preexist their interactions; rather, individuals emerge through and as part of their entangled intra-relating.” - Meeting the Universe Halfway, Karen Barad
