Azúcar/Sugar


Toi Pōneke Arts Centre, 61/69 Abel Smith Street, Te Aro, Wellington 6011, New Zealand

What is the connection between sugar, colonisation, global trade and climate change?

Azucar/Sugar is an explorative gallery experience that uses sugar sculptures, videos and digital art to trace how European and US conquest terraformed the environment from a living entity that encompassed the living spirits of the land, water, plants, animals and humans into an inert repository of resources to be harvested and harnessed for profit. Azucar/Sugar is the latest installation from With Lime, the long-standing collaboration between William Franco and Miki Seifert.
