Chapter 1 – “Forest Tales and Emerald Fictions”, exhibiting the work of Monica Ursina Jaeger
Chapter 2 – “Awe and Wonderment”, exhibiting the work of Elodie Pong, Badel/Sarbach, Donna Conlon, Melanie Guggelmann, Andreas Züst
Chapter 3 – “Ancestral Futures” exhibiting the work of Jonathas de Andrade and Veronika Spierenburg (with Nuno Barroso)
