The Edges of Water: Around Islands, Rivers, and Other Amphibious Territories

Opening: Thursday August, 21th, 6 p.m

This exhibition explores transitional spaces between land and water—liminal, unstable, and porous areas that shape wetlands, deltas, rivers, and islands, outlining an amphibious territory with its own geography and imaginaries. Is it the land that defines the edges of the water? As it emerges on the surface, it reveals its contours, giving rise to provisional forms that become landscapes in continuous transformation.

Throughout the exhibition, artworks, publications, and maps intertwine with contemporary research projects that, through artistic practice, approach these territories as familiar, everyday landscapes. In these spaces, community strategies activate collective experience—encouraging us to think with others in a situated way and in synergy with the specificities of these environments.

From this perspective, the exhibition seeks to address a multiplicity of issues through two constantly intersecting and connected axes. The first, the poetic axis, unfolds fictional constellations of faunas, landscapes, and mythical resonances. The second, in turn, brings into focus the political dimension of these territories and the various ways in which they are recorded and documented. On one hand, it centres on cartographies as graphic devices; on the other, it explores how contemporary artistic practices account for these territories through visual, sonic, and textual materials.
