The “Plants_Intelligence” exhibition at Kim?, exploring the central theme of “plant intelligence,” is developed in collaboration with Swiss researchers of the SNSF-funded project Plants_Intelligence. Learning Like a Plant, co-curated by Yvonne Volkart and Raitis Smits, and will feature 12 international artists.Another perspective will be introduced through the “Resonances of Nature” workshop and performance programme, organized in partnership with German, French, and Latvian artists, co-organized by the Goethe-Institut Riga and the French Institute in Latvia, and supported by the Franco-German Cultural Fund.Complementing these collaborations is the “Symbiotic Realities” symposium with a diverse lineup of international artists from across Europe and beyond — from Nordic countries and Canada to South America and Asia — contributing fresh global perspectives to the dialogue between art, science, and nature, and contributing to launch the new Symbiotic Realities platform by RIXC and its partners.The symposium will include presentations by this year’s RIXC Residency artists and a guided tour showcasing their new artworks on the SensUs art platform, co-curated and co-produced by RIXC in partnership with NAIA in Karlsruhe, Zone Sound Creative in Taipei and SLOlab in Toronto. The festival will also host a Symbiotic Futures network meeting, supported by Nordic Culture Point, including a “Greening Guidelines” workshop.
