Refugia . 2024

+ Bombon

Inspired by the interconnectedness of these planetary networks, Rosa Tharrats has created a new series of mobile sculptures, ever-changing and responsive to the subtle rhythms of their environment. They were conceived as refuges set on intentional paths for connection. Refuge, for Donna Haraway, is a place of regeneration for human and non-human species that are endangered by reductive, rationalist, and extractive global policies. In English, a refuge can be described as a haven, a shelter, a sanctuary. Each of these words points towards a facet of the word. For Haraway, a refuge can no longer be conceived uniquely from the point of view of hospitality, but as a space-time bracket that harbors the seeds of resilience and transformation.
