Listening Beyond the Lens: On Community, Humility, and the Quiet Power of Seeing | Saurabh Narang

Artist Alicja Kwade investigates the boundaries between the natural and the constructed, inviting viewers to reconsider their place within vast systems of time, matter, and ultimately meaning. Working with materials like stone, metal, and glass, her practice is a collaboration with the earth itself. She talks to Anna Borrie about her sculptures that challenge our human assumptions about permanence, value, and truth. Digging into how her work exposes the quiet absurdities and inherited beliefs that shape our understanding of the universe. She urges us to see with greater humility and curiosity and to have reverence for the interconnectedness of all beings. This interview is published by Planted Journal, a non-profit publication dedicated to bridging the gap between humans and nature for personal and planetary well-being.

She talks to our Associate Editor, Anna Borrie, about how her work functions as a form of pilgrimage and resistance, offering Indigenous worldviews as critical tools for reimagining ecological futures and challenging narratives.
