A journey into biodiversity through eight cities—broadly defined as organized communities that coexist and shape their world. On the third planet of the solar system, there are cities of octopuses, beavers, mushrooms, and humans. Each city offers a sensory immersion, conveying a key concept of biodiversity.
The exhibition is not merely a container; it is an integral part of the scientific narrative. Each station is constructed from organic materials that will be returned to the cycle of nature: algae, mushrooms, terracotta, cochineal-based bioplastics, and recycled wood. Additionally, there are sentinels that actively collect scientific data from the field. To heal the divisions between humanity and between humanity and the planet, we must realign ourselves and learn to use the word “we” not just to refer to our own group, but to the entire human species and the biodiversity of which it is a part. We are all interconnected within a single net.
