Back to Our Roots
In a captivating note, “NOTES ON HOME: THE WILD” our esteemed curator for Larnaca Biennale 2023, Yev Kravt, reflects on our connection with nature. The note calls us to re-evaluate our conception of ‘home’ by shifting the foreground to our natural environment, our primal home, challenging the dominant modern Western perception that relegates nature to a mere backdrop.
