TRANSVERSAL TOURS

SERVE NATURE OR USE NATURE?

Transversal tour through Modthern Nature with Antonio González Guzmán

How is it that human beings have adapted and transformed nature like no other species? How did we go from collecting carrion, fruits and seeds in savannahs, forests and jungles, to producing millions of tons of grains and inputs to feed billions? How is it possible to grow plants in the most unexpected places… like in this art space? The answers connect various aspects of our biology with knowledge and work. In this tour of Modthern Nature, we will reflect on our relationship with nature, considering how humanity has gotten to where it is.

The Transversal Tours are visits through the Arte Abierto exhibitions with guests from different areas beyond art, to expand the themes and points of reference from other gazes, perspectives, languages and disciplines.
