Animal Gift is a group exhibition about how we look at animals. All the labour relations, and interspecies affections and languages between animals and humans. How has our love for them been knotted around our use of their bodies? Animals are sometimes divine, sometimes collaborators, sometimes loves, sometimes tools, and sometimes raw materials.
What do we see when we look at them? And what does that say about how we see ourselves?
