Borderline explores the notion of the border – both as a metaphor for our lived experience and as a tool to undermine the certainty of the territories it defines. By occupying the in-between space that exists between two distinct conditions, we defiantly trespass into adjacent space, breakdown conventional barriers, and explore new territories. As a society, we continue to evolve from these transitional waves of uncertainty as part of the human experience.

Phenomenology of Hope is a virtual reality exhibition that simulates a post-COVID-19 gallery experience. Alluding to the current environment of accelerating changes and global development sparked by the pandemic, protests, systemic reevaluation and the ongoing climate anxiety, the 42 artists in this exhibition respond to the crises with their own interpretations of the phenomenon of hope.

How do our interventions on the landscape create new, altered, or artificial ecologies? How are we co-creating relationships with nature?
