The 6th edition of the BPM takes us on a journey through (im)possible worlds: confessions of defeat and promises for the future. Through an international open call, artists were invited to share their visions on our post-industrial era and the challenges that we will have to face, as well as to explore the essence of natural worlds to be preserved or reinvented.

 

The group exhibition presents a poetic approach to our planet in the age of the Anthropocene and explores the different questions that it raises. What is the impact of human activity on the environment and climate? Have we reached a point of no return, or can we envision viable alternatives for the future? What is our relationship with nature? What is the role of humans as a species on this planet? How do we relate to the elements and to the cosmos? The artists who responded to the PEP x BPM international open call have dealt with these questions in diverse ways. To reflect this range, the exhibition will present different visions of a world that has become uninhabitable for an increasing number of living species, while exploring possible and dreamed spaces for the future.
