This exhibit investigates the intersection of bodies, ecology, and agency through the lens of permeability and protection. Drawing from Elvia Wilk’s assertion that health hinges on the regulation of what enters and exits the body’s borders, this exhibition explores how consent is navigated/ within biological, political, and ecological systems.

WEAD invites work that addresses the ethics of bodily autonomy, the fluidity of borders,
and challenges rigid classifications of self and other. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how bodies; human, animal, vegetal, and microbial, are sites of negotiation, resistance, and transformation in an era of ecological precarity.

-The achievement of health is premised on the ability to control what enters and exits the bodys borders. – Elvia Wilk

– Whether one is speaking of relating well with humans or nonhumans, in the variety of ways in which we relate (sexually, intimately-but-not-sexually, as food, fuel or material resources), we are talking about sustaining one another.
-Kim TallBear
