Challenging long-held notions of human singularity, excessive progress, and growth, the group show „Fin et début / Einde en begin“ redefines care and resilience as ecological and relational structures connecting humans, nature, and technology.

Both the exhibition and the diverse public engagement programme involve artistic works and perspectives from the context of the European Media Art Platform, such as:

Annelie Berner, Johanna Bruckner, Nicolas Gourault, Darsha Hewitt, Dasha Ilina, Rosa Menkman, Caroline Sinders (in collaboration with Trammell Hudson), Studio Above&Below, Endi Tupja (in collaboration with Klodianna Millona), T(n)C, Total Refusal, Fleur Melbourn.
