Co-presented by the Grantham Foundation and the Biosphère | Espace pour la vie, A World in Common showcases the work of 10 artists and is presented at two venues: the Biosphère in Montreal and the Grantham Foundation in Saint-Edmond-de-Grantham. The exhibition is curated by Julie Bélisle and Josianne Poirier.
By adopting the perspective of the owl, the field mouse, or even the dandelion, the works gathered in this exhibition shift our perspective. They encourage us to consider how the land welcomes us and how we share it with other species, inviting us to commit to a pluralistic, supportive, and deeply relational world. Through acts of care, collaborative approaches to creation, and attention to interspecies ethics, these works offer a broad understanding of the notion of hospitality and encourage us to rethink our ways of “inhabiting.” Together, they explore the possibility of “a world in common” where all living beings can flourish.
