‘Hybridations fertiles’ explores the multiple forms of encounters and intertwining between humans, non-humans, knowledge and temporalities.
Visitors are invited to engage with the space, to reflect, to connect with these artists, researchers and designers, and to attempt, like them, to enter into dialogue with the living by moving beyond anthropocentrism — the idea that human beings are at the centre of everything — in order to recognise in other species a form of intelligence, agency, and to re-establish meaningful connections with them.
‘Herein lies the paradox: to contribute to a future that ensures the care of humans, we must transform our philosophical anthropology in a direction where we no longer identify ourselves primarily as humans. For the sake of humans, since this is clearly a central issue in the crises to come, we must first think of ourselves as living beings. ” — Baptiste Morizot, Raviver les braises du vivant.
Over 50 works and installations make up this sensory landscape, where artists and designers from various generations and backgrounds draw upon observation, experimentation and wonder as paths to reconnection.
