Curatorial context
The exhibition "Diversity Under Threat. Nature-Man-Culture" delves into the profound and often precarious relationship between humanity and the planet. It traces the Earth's long history of change, from geological formation to the emergence of life, and the subsequent evolution of species and human cultures. The display critically examines how human endeavors, driven by a desire for control and benefit, have led to the overexploitation of resources, contamination, and rapid global environmental change, potentially resulting in irreversible consequences.
Featuring 98 photographs by Eduardo Aznar (Okaimal), curated by Esteban Manrique, the exhibition is divided into sections that visually narrate this complex story. These include the Earth's constant evolution and diversity, the evolution of humans and their cultures, the transformation of environments through agriculture and fishing, the critical importance of forests and coral reefs, water as a vital resource, the impact of the Anthropocene and climate change, and a concluding section titled "We Still Have Time" that serves as a call to action to prevent ecological disaster.
