Getemde natuur

Tamed Nature explores the layered history of urban greenery through the lens of the city of Antwerp. From the first city parks in the 19th century to the emergence of climate activism in the second half of the 20th century, Antwerp's transformation reflects global developments in power relations, spatial and social ideals, and the relationship with nature and ecology. The exhibition presents unknown and underrepresented stories from the history of urban greenery. Contemporary artistic and architectural interventions challenge conventional ideas about urban nature and look ahead to a more inclusive, layered and resilient urban future.
