naturocene

1 october, 2026 -14 february, 2027

On The Inside is pleased to present Naturocene. Ways to Fall in Love with the Earth.

The exhibition brings together over twenty contemporary artists whose practices explore ecological realities through sculpture, installation, moving image, research-based work, and hybrid media.

The Naturocene is a speculative concept that opposes the Anthropocene, which is the era defined by humanity's dominant impact on the Earth. Rather than placing humans at the centre of the planet's systems, the Naturocene envisions a future in which humans are understood as one part of a broader community of life. It emphasizes coexistence, reciprocity, and the recognition of nature as an active agent with intrinsic value, inviting new ways of relating to the more-than-human world.

The exhibition introduces this speculative concept through works that explore interdependence, empathy, and resilience. It invites audiences to reconnect with the Earth by engaging with non-human perspectives.

The artworks give voice to nature, collaborate with it as a creative partner, and reveal what often remains hidden. They show and think differently, opening up new paths of sensing and knowing.

Conceived as a living ecosystem, the exhibition develops through fluid constellations of works, allowing materials, processes, and worldviews to interact dynamically.

Partcipating artist include Emma Talbot, Giulia Cenci, Maksud Ali Mondal, Kapwani Kiwanga, Alicja Kwade, Richard Long, Katie Paterson, Broersen & Lukács, Janis Rafa, David Nash and others.

Curated by Alessandra Laitempergher.

The exhibition is created in close collaboration with the Eye Filmmuseum, with collection curator Simona Monizza.
