Ecofeminisms Today: Promiscuous Entanglements brings together a constellation of artistic practices that intersect ecological and feminist concerns, challenging the spatial, cultural, and gendered hierarchies that shape both human and more-than-human lives. This exhibition foregrounds the complex positionalities of women artists from disparate geographies—including the Global South, the Mediterranean and  the Levant—each of whom navigates multiple, layered identities. Their works reflect the ways in which bodies, territories, and identities are always entangled, negotiating spaces marked by power, violence and environmental devastation.

Moreover, the exhibition invites visitors to shift their attention from the Anthropocene to the Hydrocene, as coined by Australian-Swedish scholar and curator Dr. Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris. It is a delicate task that emphasizes the power of water rather than humans, thus challenging the dominant narrative. The artists in this exhibition use water to reflect on themes of nourishment, transformation, resilience and resistance, challenging patriarchal systems that seek to control natural resources and women’s bodies alike.

The term 'promiscuity' is playfully appropriated in this context to represent the rich, interwoven, and non-linear narratives embodied by ecofeminist art. In an effort to resist categorization and control, the exhibition highlights the corporeal and lived experiences embedded in these works.
