The upcoming exhibition at ArtEra emerges from a process of co-creation between artists, scientists, and young fellows across disciplines. Developed through a summer school, the project began with a question: how to (re)connect healthcare to nature?

We cast nature as chaotic and medicine as exact, forgetting that healing once emerged from the very ecosystems we now only want to tame. Can these two worlds, clinical and organic, find a shared language again?

And as contemporary artistic discourse emphasizes the interdependence of species and elevates non-human perspectives, we ask: how do the ideas of making kin with nature resonate within the walls of a hospital? Do they still hold, or does the urgency of human life inevitably reclaim center stage?

Five artists dwell on these questions, looking at the world through a hospital window
