Co-Arising is a story-exhibition — a multisensory, immersive experience that invites participants into a collective process of remembering, unmaking, and transformation.
Rooted in ecological consciousness and cultural critique, Co-Arising is both artwork and campaign: a call for cultural shift in response to the climate crisis.
At its heart grows a living sculpture, woven from donated materials and symbolic objects offered by citizens, artists, and makers. Each contribution carries a story, an intention, or a memory — forming a monument to what we can build when we act as one.
Guided by the butterfly effect and inspired by mycelium networks, the project shows how even the smallest gestures can ripple into collective transformation. Visitors are invited not as spectators but as co-creators, stepping into a poetic, participatory journey that fosters imagination, empathy, and care.
In times of climate crisis, Co-Arising asks us to rethink narratives, unlearn separation, and co-create new cultural values through a shared act of giving something back.
