Collective Rewilding

Last night, we hosted “A Gathering Without a Manual,” an event structured as a performative reading and an open space for reflection on curatorial ethics. The gathering marked the upcoming publication of “The Anti-Manual of Care and Accountability” by the @collectiverewilding curatorial collective. Through feminist, decolonial, and ecological lenses, the publication interrogates the conditions of artistic production and the inherent responsibilities of curatorial practices amidst the current climate and social crises. The evening was led by collective member @sabsgram , who wove selected excerpts from the book with sound compositions by artist @nico_lh . The gathering concluded with a collective reflection on the practice of listening, prompted by questions formulated by the @bureauforlistening . The event took place during the exhibition “Zbogom formi” by @kokos1top , which provided an evocative setting for the discussion. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to this dialogue! 📸 @upitnikusklicnik

A Gathering Without a Manual 15. 1. 2026., 19:00 h performative reading With: @collectiverewilding & @sabsgram A Gathering Without a Manual is an open gathering: a space for dialogue, collective listening, reflection, and reading of excerpts from the emerging publication. In times when art institutions increasingly speak about care, yet rarely take responsibility for the ecological, social, and inter-species crises they have helped shape, we gather around the question: what does it mean to care today – curatorially, artistically, politically? The event is part of the upcoming international book project The Anti-Manual of Care and Accountability which is inspired by practice based artistic interventions and curatorial case studies that, through feminist, decolonial, and ecologically sensitive approaches, interrogates the conditions under which art is produced, circulates, and acts. The evening includes listening to selected compositions from the album Respuestas by Nicole L’Huillier – created from the exhibition project Resonaciones (ifa Gallery Stuttgart). The vibrations of the whistling vessels expand in dialogue with recordings of planetary tremors, environmental oscillations, visitor contributions, and AI-mediated reinterpretations, creating a sound field that connects the past, present and possible futures. Her compositions act as a listening laboratory: a space in which fragments, noises and layers are transformed into a deep, immersive auditory situation. (With generous support from ifa Gallery – @ifa.visualarts ) In keeping with the ethos of the book itself, the event does not follow the logic of the stage and distance, but unfolds in an intimate, organic arrangement: as a circular gathering in dialogue with the space and those present. The event opens questions, presents drafts and texts that already now seek interlocutors and shared reflection. Photo: Monika Kováčová

We had the pleasure of presenting an excerpt of our upcoming book project *”The Anti-Manual of Care and Accountability”* through an inter-species dialogue. This encounter was a happening in which we entered into a dream that the Colombian artist Nicolas Paris had for more-than-human thinking and posthuman unlearning! Thank you Nicolas and Jesus Fuenmayor for the invitation to dream together in this gathering of radical pedagogies. @collectiverewilding has created this incomplete and partial anti-manual to guide the actions and relations we create as curators inquiring into the possibilities of transforming our paradigms from re-presention to re-existance. This document is not a guide. It is a refusal of guidance. It is not a map. It is the ground shifting beneath us. It begins with questions—questions that precede method, precede mastery, precede knowledge: What infrastructures—material, conceptual, or spiritual—must we build to sustain these plural worlds in coexistence? And what role might art, curation, and cultural institutions play in cultivating the sensibilities required to live in a world fundamentally composed of many worlds? What methodologies emerge when we take seriously the proposition that reality is plural—not metaphorically, but ontologically? How might such a stance reshape the ways we conduct research, curate exhibitions, or build institutions capable of attending to more-than-human modes of existence? As a permeable working document, this provocation delineates a set of principles that may allow us to situate ourselves and orient our thinking. This re-orientation is guided by materials, experiences, and teachings that come from a variety of scholars and artists, many of whom think with and alongside the earth and more-than-human entities.

Congrats to our own @sarisgarzon ! What a stellar team!! Don’t miss the II Bienal das Amazônias “Verde Distancia opening August 26, 2025 in Belém do Pará! 💚💚💚

Over the past few weeks, our very own Sabina (@sabsgram ) has been curator-in-residence at @culturehubcroatia , where she developed her project Nourishment Ties. A slow, living, entangled journey — Nourishment Ties invited audiences to taste, touch, think, and feel. It asked not for quick answers, but for lingering questions. Participation wasn’t assumed; it was earned, through presence, care, and reflection. Guided by incredible artists — masharu, Dora Ramljak, Darko Brajković, and Tintin Patrone — the project explored food not just as nourishment, but as medium, method, and metaphor. Together, they asked: What ties tie ties? How do soil, mussels, microbes, robots, and stories nourish us? What responsibilities come with that nourishment? How do we listen to the voices of machines, ecosystems, and bodies often overlooked? Congratulations on the wonderful project, we are looking forward to reading about it in the upcoming publication. @dr.masharu @plantaasia @brajkovicdepetonjapo @tintin_patrone Photo: Bruno Marević, Nino Šarić

Congratulations to our very own @sarisgarzon for her most recent article “Fabricating Amazonia” included in the book “We live like trees insinde the footsteps of our ancestors,” edited by Mariana Cunha and Marianna Tsionki. It’s now available for preorder through @k_verlag “We live like trees insinde the footsteps of our ancestors,” explores a range of artistic practices from Latin America and conceptual frameworks engaging with ecological sensibilities, pedagogies, and knowledge systems that move away from Western-centered and colonial notions of nature. Adopting decolonial, ecocritical, and more-than-human approaches, this book weaves together historical and material conditions and environmental struggles, examining how these come to bear on contemporary Latin American artistic production. Linking neoliberal exploitative economies, extractive practices and the failures of colonial modernity, the publication aims to shed light on alternative ways of understanding nature and interspecies kinships, and to resurface other epistemologies, which critically reflect on the schism between nature and culture. With contributions by Jens Andermann, Mariana Cunha, Sara Garzon, Lilian Fraiji, Marianne Hoffmeister, Renata Padovan, and Marianna Tsionki. Design by K. Verlag with Wolfgang Hückel & Katharina Tauer.

We are delighted to collaborate with Sabina Oroshi, curator and co-founder of Collective Rewilding. Oroshi’s work focuses on the intersections of art, ecology, and cultural narratives. She has curated interdisciplinary projects across Europe, including exhibitions at Kunsthalle Trier, Kunsthalle Bratislava, or the Museum of Contemporary Art of Istria. In a lab, she will present her own curatorial practice, bring relevant references from the broader field of art and curating, and offer one-on-one sessions with the artists. ~The artists-in-residency program Fluid Materialities is directed and hosted by Marie-Luise Meister and funded by the EU and Goethe Institute. The programm focuses on the interconnectedness of all life forms and collective reflection on coexistence and diversity in an ever-changing future.~ – Wir freuen uns sehr über die bereichernde Collaboration mit Sabina Oroshi.

We are thrilled that our very own Sabina Oroshi @sabsgram will collaborate with the first edition of the programme titled Fluid Materialities @fluidmaterialities . The project emphasizes the interconnection and relation of all life forms and invites artists and collaborators to reflect together on coexistence and collective diversity in an unpredictable, ever-changing future. By bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds, the residency fosters a collaborative environment and integrates individual artistic work and research with a reflective structure that examines our roles as artists within a capitalist system that often disregards the importance of bodily intelligence. The program is directed and hosted by Marie-Luise Meister @mariemeister_ , funded by the European Union @culturemoveseurope and the Goethe Institute @goetheinstitut and carried out in collaboration with Sabina Oroshi, curator and co-founder of the Collective Rewilding and the Department of Art and Design at the University of Applied Sciences Trier. With artists: Sadrie Alves @sadriealves Pepa Ivanova @pepa.st.ivanova Gohar Martirosyan @goharmartirosian and Kate Ruck @pure_moods

Listen to our very own @sarisgarzon discuss ideas of eco-futurism, temporality in times of environmental catastrophe, and multi species adaptation with artist Ayesha Hammed ! Episode Seven. Link in bio 🌱👆🏽 This episode is a conversation between Ayesha Hameed and Sara Garzón. Ayesha is an artist whose work explores contemporary borders and migration, critical race theory, Walter Benjamin, and visual cultures of the Black Atlantic. Sara is a Colombian curator and art historian. She specializes in contemporary Latin American art, and focuses on issues relating to decoloniality, temporality, and indigenous eco-criticism. They discussed the intersection of coloniality, indigenous knowledges, and new media technologies, with a focus on climate catastrophe from a historical perspective. They talk about the representation of nature and the environment in colonial times. And they also examine the concept of eco-futurism in contemporary art, as well as the notion of interspecies collaboration. You can listen to this episode wherever you usually listen to podcasts, or on our Publications page via the link in our bio.

Our very own Sabina Oroshi @sabsgram is proudly participating as a guest curator at the 15th International Visual Arts Festival, Arteria 2024, held at Novigrad’s Lapidarium @lapidarium_museum Museum, Rigo Gallery, and public spaces. This year’s theme, Divino, merges multiple layers of meaning, symbolizing taste, status, courtship, and spirituality. It also highlights the deep connection between tradition, rituals, the land, and our reliance on nature. Sabina’s curated program features the works of Sara Graorac and Barena Bianca @barenabianca The opening featured the work of Sara Graorac, a Canadian artist with Montenegrin roots, whose interdisciplinary practice explores social issues and Balkan traditions. Her art, described as “liquefying folklore,” reflects on sustainability and necessity, using recycled objects to represent how traditions evolve and connect generations. The evening continued with a performance by the Venetian collective Barena Bianca, focusing on environmental activism. Their piece, “Fishing Without Fish,” highlighted the balance between human consumption and nature. The next day, they led a journey to the wetlands of the River Mirna, reflecting on the historical and ecological ties between Venice and Novigrad. Both Graorac’s and Barena Bianca’s work illustrate how cultural and ecological traditions evolve, inspiring us to address today’s environmental challenges while honoring heritage.
