Symbiotic Echoes brings together four distinct exhibitions by Ilze Bebris and Robin Ripley, Dave Mutnjakovic, James Pocock, and Artem Struyanskiy. Across different gallery spaces, each artist explores the crucial balance between humanity and the environment, the need for interconnectedness, resilience, and active engagement in response to the crises of our time. From challenging societal systems to envisioning ecological harmony, the artists invite viewers to reflect on a path towards a future of symbiosis and restoration.
