These Entanglements: Ecology After Nature

17 FEBRUARY - 14 JUNE 2025

The University of Queensland Art Museum

Petroleum, chemicals, and bacteria have become agents of history. Humanity, or rather the settler-colonial project, has infiltrated every environment on a molecular level, resulting in anthropogenic climate crisis. In this state of ‘post-nature’ there are no edges; even plastic has invaded our blood streams. 

'These Entanglements: Ecology After Nature' thinks with the molecular, the geological and the biological and their entanglements with social relations. Bringing together Australian and international artists it traverses choreography, sculptural installation, filmmaking, field research, tarot reading, photography, painting, and virtual simulation. Working from the premise that human exceptionalism has led to environmental catastrophe, the exhibition proposes a more ethical, symbiotic, and reciprocal approach to cross-species relations and ways of being in the world. 


'These Entanglements: Ecology After Nature' will include a new performance work by Alicia Frankovich, co-presented and co-commissioned by UQ Art Museum and ACCA.  

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
