Trail of Tears by Zoe Blaq

Floating on Cotton: Freedom Maps, Trade Routes, and City Codes offers an exploration of migration and trade through the lens of art and environmentalism. The exhibition draws on Zoe Blaq’s extensive experience with urban gardening and food justice, connecting these themes with the histories of colonialism, resistance, and global movement. The work explores how maps, trade routes, and city codes have shaped and continue to shape the experiences of people across the world. Zoe’s art aims to provoke a dialogue on freedom and identity in the context of contemporary struggles, while encouraging the healing power of collective creation.
