    About Rewilding

    Rewilding

    Ute Penk

    At the Museum of Arts and Design, *Rewilding* considers ecological restoration as a cultural act, asking what it means to step back and let systems reorganize. The exhibition traces ideas of biodiversity and natural process, while acknowledging that today’s “nature” often includes new species and unfamiliar relationships. Featured performer Jessica Lichenstein extends the work into the live register, where the body becomes another site of adaptation and control. Its quiet provocation is that rewilding is less a return than a negotiation.
