This opening event marks the beginning of Nature Reclaims: Images of Healing and introduces both the photographic exhibition and the research-practice context from which it emerges. The event invites participants into a quiet, reflective encounter with landscapes where nature is slowly reclaiming human-built environments, offering visual entry points into broader questions of regeneration, time, and ecological agency.

Participants can expect a gentle introduction to the exhibition and its research context, including a short talk, guided tour, and open conversation exploring regeneration, healing, and what it means to rethink growth, success, and business beyond profit.

The opening event overview and detailed agenda can be found in the menu under Info.

Info

Drawing from RIFS Fellow Adina-Iuliana Deacu’s ongoing work at the Research Institute for Sustainability at GFZ (RIFS) and her eight years of social entrepreneurship, the opening presents a working redefinition of business as “an entity that solves social issues and creates social value in a financially sustainable way.” Rather than approaching this as an abstract theory, the opening explores how this shift in definition is deeply connected to how we imagine growth, success, productivity, and worth, both collectively and individually.

The event combines a short introductory talk, a guided tour through selected photographic works, and open conversation. It is intentionally designed as an accessible, contemplative gathering rather than a formal vernissage, creating space for slowing down, sensing, and reflecting. Participants are invited to consider how patterns of extraction visible in landscapes mirror patterns within economic systems and personal lives and how regeneration, in all these dimensions, often unfolds quietly and non-linearly.

The opening sets the conceptual and emotional tone for the week, framing the exhibition as a space of inquiry, imagination, and gentle questioning.
