ArtworxTO – HOME(LAND): Terra Firma

Terra Firma, the second of the HOME(LAND) series, explored the earth as a powerful natural element that connects us to the land, the territory that we inhabit and where we build  the fabric of our home. The selected works tackled ideas of bio-politics, environmental governance, cultural borders, social displacement, and erasure from a perspective of individual resilience, community resistance and participation.       

Rooted in observation and interaction with natural landscapes, the selected works examine notions of identity and kinship and their interconnected and inextricable systems existing with the element of the earth, the land, and all living things.   

EXHIBITION: March 1 to May 29, 2022

About the Exhibition
HOME(LAND) was a series of three multimedia exhibitions examining how concepts of land
intersect and dialogue with the fluid, and shifting characteristics of identity, belonging,
and home across and between races, regions, cultures, and nations with connections to
the four elemental energies from which all of life is created, water, fire, air and earth.
