Artist Robertina Šebjanič immerses us in the world of the axolotl - a species disappearing in the wild as their natural habitat is being destroyed, while propagated for scientific exploitation of its regenerative abilities.

Given all the scientific merits in the field of regenerative biology and the promise of prolongation of human life, it is almost impossible for humankind to see axolotls as they are – non-human-subjects in the process of inevitable extinction.
The project thus opens the questions: Who observes whom? Who is seen as a monster and who is perceived as an optical illusion?

🦎Axolotls🦎

We can’t have a theme about [Re]generation without mentioning this mascot creature ~ the Axolotl! Used extensively in scientific research due to their superpower ability to regenerate limbs as well as to remain “youthful” their entire lives.
Yet sadly, wild axolotls are also critically endangered - native to only two lakes in Mexico which have been obliterated by urbanisation and water pollution.

❗️Critically Endangered❗️Between China and Vietnam lies the world's largest karst landscape. A mysterious animal lives here: Cao Vit gibbon. Once thought to be extinct by scientists in the '60s, the species was "rediscovered" by conservationists in the early 2000s. Will we lose them again ? Follow this journey and collaboration between Chinese and Vietnamese teams working together to save a species.

🌱Did U know ? 🌱

Gibbons communicate with a wide repertoire of vocalizations, but are best known for their hauntingly beautiful song; males and females sing together in a duet that is unique to each species.💕

This year, the theme focuses on regeneration – a nod to the next big sustainability movement of regenerative agriculture. While current sustainability practices are generally aimed at reducing or reusing what is already in circulation, regenerative agriculture takes it a step further by assuming things are already so damaged that it needs to be actively rebuilt and nurtured back to health. We almost feel the recent pandemic measures have given us the time and space to do just that.
