Revolv Collective is proud to present Grafting: The Land and the Artist.

Inspired by the horticultural technique of grafting, whereby two plants are joined together in order to enhance their resilience and yield, the showcased contemporary photography proposes an ethos of entanglement and symbiosis. In the exhibition, the artists’ labour is contextualised from a variety of positions to question their understanding and engagement with the land as a site of work, resistance, action, co-dependence, regeneration and communion.

Transcending the traditional boundaries of photography, Grafting: The Land and the Artist challenges preconceived notions about photography as a less laborious medium, and digs deeper to reflect on what a sustainable and meaningful artistic practice can look like in the age of climate emergency. The exhibition offers viewers a space to reconsider the land and its interconnected forms of knowledge, whilst encouraging contemplation on how society has engaged with, transformed and inhabited the natural world throughout history.
