This exhibition presents eight contemporary artists whose works offer vantage points on a world in perpetual crisis. Rather than representing specific political events, or taking singular positions, each artist in this exhibition explores broader conditions of domination and conflict, as well as horizons for survival.

Enjoy a bespoke guided walk around the Cambridge University Botanic Garden enjoying the beautiful sounds of spring, with staff from the Garden and the Museum of Zoology.
