THINK ISLANDS: María Inés Rodríguez
THINK ISLANDS
Acting as a forward-thinking tank, Think Islands brings fresh perspectives to the concept of "borders"—exploring human movement, logistics, cultural exchange, and the political tensions that arise from geographic relationships.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the pace of change is unprecedented. Predicting the landscape five years ahead becomes challenging as this dynamism potentially intensifies. ‘Think Islands’ delves into the fluid concept of ‘border’, understanding its intrinsic propensity to evolve. The primary locations, Ishigaki and Toyoshima, are intriguing choices - isolated islands with unique ecosystems, yet subjected to evolving political borders influenced by maritime geopolitics.
Inspired by these dynamics, Think Islands creates a space to share ideas and practices—bringing together not only artists and curators, but active practitioners from various fields through both physical events and online platforms.
