Emilia Beatriz's 'Declarations on soil and honey' at CCA Glasgow

Emilia Beatriz's exhibition, titled 'Declarations on soil and honey,' is currently on display at the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow and will be available until June 30, 2019. This showcase includes two video pieces that intertwine the agricultural and beekeeping stories of Puerto Rico and Scotland. Beekeeping serves as a metaphor for humanity's bond with nature during times of environmental challenges. Through her interactions with farmers and beekeepers, Beatriz underscores the relational and spiritual dimensions of environmental stewardship. The first video, 'A forecast, a haunting, a crossing, a visitation,' is set in Cape Wrath, Scotland, while the second, 'Conversation with Ana Elisa,' features Puerto Rican beekeeper Ana Elisa Pérez Quintero. The exhibition also features moss-covered seating and low-frequency soundscapes by Kiera Coward-Deyell, highlighting themes of environmental justice and community resource accessibility.
