June 25th // 19:00 - 24:00 // Exhibition Night // June 25th // This exhibition opens a space to call for those who have been deserted in the whirlwind of gore capitalist desires, especially taking into account the current genocide and its atrocious acceptance by society. The earth that gets eroded, the community that gets vanished. The power from the plants and the sand and the sun and the sounds and the songs all converge here to call for respite. To desert, to leave, to abandon. To desert, to forsake, to give up. Desert, the wasteland, the wilderness, the barren area. The desert, from destruction, from ruin. That which is abandoned, deserted. An unetymological confusion of nothingness. The remaining unproductive, barren, uncultivated, wasted. A forsaking, an undoing. A territory of vastness. Turning things into a desert. A continuing process of erosion. The edification of draught, the fight for the fleeting water, fleeting roots. The thirst for meaning and territory. The result of human activity. To desert, to revolt. To hurt, to damage. The extension of land that has no trees. The lack of life, the sounds of the night, the following of the traces. A deserter, the one who departs without intentions of returning. Belonging to dessertum. Deserving one’s own faith out of one’s own actions. Waterless, treeless region of a considerable extent. The desert. Description FORGOTTEN PARADISE: DREAM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER, Film + installation, 2022 Charlotte Brathwaite and Malick Welli Energy cannot be destroyed
