The multimedia exhibition Touch Nature showcases international artists and their takes on the devastating political, economic, ecological and humanitarian consequences of the Anthropocene. It becomes quite clear in the process that, in addition to documenting grievances and formulating strategies of resistance, these artists also provide blueprints for utopias.

The exhibition is based on a series of exhibitions of the same name that were shown in twelve of Austria’s Forums of Culture in Europe and the United States between 2021 and 2024. This allowed Austrian artists to enter into a creative dialogue with artists of the host countries.

The show at the Lentos presents a summary of this series of exhibitions and supplements it with international works of art. Its roughly 120 artists present a multinational overview of the current engagement with the climate crisis and the destruction of our environment.
