Opening two new exhibitions at RADIUS: THE EARTH IS THINKING ALL ALONG... & MIRIAM HILLAWI ABRAHAM: THE NIGHT THAT DREAMS—COSMOLOGIES OF SCALE
In 2026, RADIUS presents the year-programme YOU AND I ARE EARTH — TOWARDS AN EARTHLY POLITICS, exploring how human, non-human, and more-than-human life are entangled within the ‘critical zone’: the thin, vulnerable layer where soil, water, air, and living beings continuously shape one another. As a part of this year-programme, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the opening of two new exhibitions, open to the public from 13 June until 27 September 2026.
The group exhibition THE EARTH IS THINKING ALL ALONG…, guest curated by philosopher Rick Dolphijn, presents work by Sunah Choi and Alex Taek-Gwang Lee, Xandra van der Eijk and Rick Dolphijn, Kristiina Koskentola and Han Xiaohan, Ferran Lega and Christian Alonso, Shintaro Miyawaki and Toshiya Ueno, Katarzyna Pastuszak and Irena Chawrilska, and Tihomir Topuzovski. Within the exhibition, artists and philosophers join forces in a collaborative search for ways to think with, rather than about, the Earth. Starting from the understanding that the ecological crises demands not only technological solutions but also new forms of attention, perception, and imagination, the Earth is approached as an active thinker and co-actor. Traversing sound, movement, scent, matter, and language, so-called ‘earth-thought-experiments’ emerge in which human and more-than-human perspectives enter into dialogue.
Simultaneously we present the solo exhibition MIRIAM HILLAWI ABRAHAM: THE NIGHT THAT DREAMS—COSMOLOGIES OF SCALE, marking a new iteration in her longstanding research on pre-colonial African cosmologies. The new body of work presented in this exhibition studies and draws constellations between African cosmologies and spatial orders as multi-scalar repositories of lived knowledges and world-building traditions. Working intersectionally, Hillawi Abraham seeks to uphold the rich tapestry of African cosmologies whilst complicating Western colonial legacies, which have long dictated their (mis)understanding.
We hope to welcome you during the public opening reception on Saturday 13 June from 16:00 to 19:00. Tickets for this convivial exhibition opening can be reserved via the button in the top right corner.
