About The Space Between Breaths
Breathing is a universal act, yet the conditions in which we live determine how freely we are able to breathe. Climate change and air pollution affect our health. The pressure of an ever-accelerating society leaves little room to catch our breath. And not everyone experiences the same freedom, safety, or access to healthcare and a healthy environment. In The Space Between Breaths, breath is approached not only as a physical reality but also as a social and political one. The works demonstrate how breathing can function as a metaphor for connection, care, migration, ecology, identity, memory, and imagination. From diverse perspectives, the artists explore what breath can tell us about our relationship with one another, our environment, and the future.
