Step inside a floating universe of fishing nets

Experience up close Carolina Caycedo’s Spiral for Shared Dreams, a floating installation that descends all levels at MoMA. The work, made from fishing nets made in collaboration with communities in Mexico, addresses environmental issues of extraction and the power of collective action. How can art draw our attention to an individual’s role in environmental rights and activism? Hear how two MoM staff members reflect on what this work whispers about “small acts of the everyday that are saturated with both personal and collective meaning.” “What if we started looking at nature as something that’s looking back at us? Could we pay more attention to its signals, respond to its needs, and even acknowledge its rights to be protected?” Subscribe for our latest videos, and invitations to live events: Explore our collection online: Plan your visit in-person: Commit to art and ideas.
