NEON and the Whitechapel Gallery present the exhibition “Terrapolis” at the Garden of French School at Athens, which opens its gardens to the general public for the first time since their establishment in 1846. Terrapolis, a term proposed by science philosopher Donna Haraway, combines the Latin ‘terra’ for earth, with the Greek ‘polis’ for city or citizens.  This show asks, should we regard animals as citizens? How do processes of nature, such as metamorphoses relate to the creation of art? How do mythic narratives resonate in contemporary society? And can we recalibrate our relationship with other species?
