[HUMAN:NATURE] Megijima



Combining technology, art, and social ecology to envision a future for the environment and for local communities.


Both as a process, and as an exhibition, the [HUMAN:NATURE] project is set at the crossroads of environmental study and socially-aware art practice.

In the Summer of 2013, a team of four will spend one month interviewing the 30 families on the island of Megijima, Japan, documenting their stories in connection with the island’s landscape. Through these investigations, and interactions, the project represents a starting point for re-imagining our roles within the vital social and ecological support systems of community and agriculture.
