Location
MODEM Art CenterAll are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition Cultivators of Life: Growing Seedbeds of Knowledge on September 5 at 4:30 PM at MODEM.
The exhibition brings together artists, gardeners and researchers to explore cultivation as a way of producing knowledge and imagining new relationships with the living world.
Organized by tranzit.ro/București in partnership with MODEM and curated by Adelina Luft and Krisztián Gábor Török, the exhibition presents artistic practices that approach cultivation not simply as agriculture, but as a form of knowledge production, community building, and ecological imagination.
Bringing together artists, researchers, gardeners, and community practitioners from Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, the exhibition explores how artistic practice intersects with ecology, science, indigenous knowledge, and everyday forms of care. Rather than treating the garden as a metaphor, Cultivators of Life understands it as a living structure where relationships between people, plants, soil, memory, and place are continuously cultivated.
The exhibition will be opened by Krisztián Gábor Török and Adelina Luft.
Audiovisual performance: blanche the vidiot.
Reading in the garden: Harun Morrison: Readings from a Selection of Fictional Gardens, with the participation of actor István Papp (in Hungarian).
The programme will be held in Hungarian and English, with interpretation provided in both languages.
Admission is free.
