Montoro12 Gallery is pleased to present Earth Power!, an exhibition bringing together ten international contemporary artists exploring nature in the age of the Anthropocene, an age characterized by a major ecological crisis. Most Westerners today still live in a patriarchal order of hierarchical authority with a dualistic worldview, alienated from nature. The title of the exhibition alludes to a transformation that happens when we start to recognize the power of “Mother Earth,” the source from which all life springs. Indigenous peoples all over the world respect nature, believing that all forms of life (stones, plants, animals, humans...) are connected.

We will reconnect to the Earth, to nature and to the spirit world.
