Plant(ing) Entanglements
The series of sound installations Warm Earth Sounds for Plants and the People Who Love Them ends with Fulya Uçanok’s sound installation Plant(ing) Entanglements.
This installation foregrounds an understanding that listening and being listened to are entangled. Focusing on the relational interface between humans and plants, it offers a space to explore the listening and thinking relationships one forms with plants. Incorporating speculative fabulations and questions about the relationship between subject and object, the installation invites visitors to slow down, reflect, and imagine together with the plants in the Winter Garden at Salt Beyoğlu.

The Soils Project
‘The Soils Project’ is part of an eponymous, long-term research initiative involving TarraWarra Museum of Art (Wurundjeri Country, Australia), the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, Netherlands) and Struggles for Sovereignty, a collective based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It works through specific and situated practices that consider soil, as both metaphor and matter.
Seeking and facilitating opportunities to listen to diverse voices and perspectives around notions of caring for land, soil and sovereign territories, the project has been in development since 2018. An international collaboration between three organisations, and several artists, curators, writers and activists, it has manifested in various iterations over several years. The group exhibition ‘Soils’ at the Van Abbemuseum is part of Museum of the Commons. -
