Rooted — A Common Ground with No Outside, explores how “nature” is represented, maintained, and experienced within the contemporary city. The exhibition is currently on at Mile End Park’s Art Pavilion.
Rather than treating nature as a distant landscape, this exhibition considers it as something embedded in everyday urban life—shaped by maintenance, infrastructure, and human intervention. Inspired by Merleau-Ponty’s understanding of the lived world, Rooted invites us to reconsider the boundaries between nature and the urban environment, and the ways we inhabit and experience both.
The exhibition is curated by Gabriel Jiao @pikpik_jj and features artists:
