📍 Ballenberg, Swiss Open-Air Museum
Terravibe presents a moment of reflection on Climate Change, Migration and In/Justice as part of the exhibition “On the Move Across the World: stories of coming and
going” at the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum. Soils, the base of life on land, are literally and metaphorically the common ground our lives and communities are built upon. Expanding on their work with soils as a hyper-local, stable
medium, they play with water and rivers as a global, flowing element to draw attention to in/visible connections between the mountains and the sea, beginnings and endings, Switzerland and India. By getting personal through a mixed method comparative study
between the Tomasee in Switzerland and the Gangetic Delta in India, their intention is to bring forward dialogue as a tool of empathy, change, resistance and action in highly complex, intangible contexts. This project was created throughout the 2024 Residency by EcoArt Lab by HKB, in association with the Ballenberg Museum,
Helvetas, and mLab at the Institute of Geography at University of Bern.
Under this project, two works were created.
