Neo-Animism dissolves the boundaries between subject and object, nature and culture, revealing the subtle connections that bind all living systems.

Neo-Animism dissolves the boundaries between subject and object, nature and culture, revealing the subtle connections that bind all living systems.
Drawing from the deep well of animist traditions, Neo-Animism emerges as a contemporary lens for perceiving the interconnected vitality of our world. It dissolves the rigid boundaries between subject and object, nature and culture, revealing gradients of relationship in which every entity participates in a shared, unfolding ecology.
Neo-Animism rekindles our sensitivity to the world's subtle energies and unseen rhythms—the resonance of stone, the mercurial moods of weather, the layered hum of restless urban infrastructures, and invisible digital networks. Within this expanded worldview, artistic practice becomes an act of co-creation and deep listening. Artists engage matter and medium as collaborators, attuned to the latent life within their materials. Pigments stain, surfaces pulse, algorithms wander—artworks transcend static forms to become ever-shifting sites of encounter and transformation.
Our curatorial approach affirms a plurality of knowledge and experience, inviting speculative imagination, ancestral wisdom, and technological innovation into coexistence within one resonant ecosystem. Through fostering proximity, reciprocity, and active participation, meaning arises from attentive presence rather than detached observation. Art, in this context, becomes a living communion—an invitation to sense, feel, and imagine the quiet movement and hidden life woven throughout the world. Neo-Animism offers not merely reflection, but renewal—a return to conscious presence within a profoundly sentient world.
