About the event
Often dismissed as wastelands, peatlands are some of the planet’s
most powerful terrestrial carbon stores. Despite their crucial ecological importance, these ecosystems are subjected to extraction and degradation. Today, these ecosystems sit in a state of Limbo: suspended between protection and destruction, reverence and neglect.
Limbo challenges this narrative by offering visitors a chance to reimagine peatlands not only as climate assets but as complex cultural landscapes with intertwined histories, conflicts and futures in flux.
The exhibition brings together over 20 international artists, researchers, and collectives working across mediums including data visualization, cartography, archival research, educational tools, sound, and video installation.
