Emerging from a state of in-betweenness and transformation embodied in the notion of liminality, Liminal Ecologies delves into the entanglements of human and more-than-human worlds transformed by migration, climate crisis, and shifting geopolitical forces. Unfolding within spaces of transition where geographical, ecological, and conceptual borders blur and reform, the exhibition explores new ways of understanding, adapting to, and engaging with the changing world.

Through film, photography, sculpture, and multimedia installations, Liminal Ecologies gathers works that expose the necropolitics of border regimes and imagine new forms of multispecies coexistence, where survival is intertwined across fragile yet generative terrains.

Tracing these liminal spaces, water flows through the exhibition as metaphor and material force—rivers weaponized as instruments of state control, oceans as vast thresholds of loss and possibility, rain as a harbinger of both abundance and devastation and rewilding attempts over flooded ravines. In extractive and war-torn landscapes, water carries the scars of exploitation, yet it also holds the power to reshape and renew.

Inhabiting the fluidity of liminal ecologies, the exhibition invites us to rethink divisions and interconnections. Weaving together urgency and possibility, it envisions ways of navigating unstable ground, opening spaces for critical reflection and resistance, and imagining futures that defy the constraints of borders.
