“andrea geyer / a promise of lightning” takes inspiration from the network of connections made among trees in the forest. Gathered together, trees can form vast, evolving webs of visible and invisible layers in which resources, distress signals, and memories are in continual exchange, and intergenerational communication is key to survival. Taking its title from Audre Lorde’s 1973 poem ‘Movement Song’, which explores both loss and hope, the exhibition asks: How might we consider queerness as a form of multi-temporal relations to and within wider hegemonic cultures? How might under-known frameworks of the natural world conceptually and emotionally expand our capacity for resilience?
