[Against] Animal Capitalism
Lecture and Workshop with Terike Haapoja
November 21th 2024
Terike Haapoja is an interdisciplinary visual artist, writer and researcher. Haapoja’s work investigates the existential and political boundaries of our world, with a specific focus on issues arising from the anthropocentric world view of Western traditions. Animality, multispecies politics, cohabitation, time, loss, and repairing connections are recurring themes in Haapoja’s work. Projects by Gustafsson&Haapoja, an ongoing collaboration with writer Laura Gustafsson, propose utopian alternatives for anthropocentric institutions such as museums.
The work of Terike Haapoja and Gustafsson&Haapoja have been exhibited widely in solo and group shows internationally, recent exhibitions including Bucharest Biennale, Taipei Biennale, Venice Biennale, Momentum Biennale, Helsinki Biennale, New Tretyakov Gallery Moscow, Kalmar Art Museum, CCCB Barcelona, Kindl Berlin, Chronus Art Center Shanghai, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art Helsinki, ZKM Germany, ISCP New York.
