The K. M. Hunter Charitable Foundation is thrilled to support Beyond the Commons: From Stardust to Everlasting Sun, an exhibition curated by Noor Alé featuring artists Eve Tagny and mosquito girlfriend (Gabi Dao & Lou Lou Sainsbury).
This powerful exhibition reimagines the concept of commoning — the communal stewardship of natural resources like land, water, and biodiversity. By exploring themes of mutual aid, reciprocity, and relationality, the artists challenge colonial systems of privatization and control. Through installations, ceramics, photographs, and video works, the exhibition offers a timely reflection on resilience and interconnectedness.

Supporting projects that spark dialogue and shed light on social and environmental issues is at the heart of our Foundation’s mission. The artists’ exploration of ecological justice and shared responsibility resonates deeply with our commitment to nurturing artistic voices that engage with pressing contemporary concerns.
We encourage you to experience this thoughtful and inspiring exhibition.
