Philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari developed the concept of “becoming-animal,” which proposes that humans can move beyond anthropocentric identities and engage fluidly with nonhuman life. This exhibition brings together works that explore and challenge hierarchies between humans and animals. Rejecting modes of dominance, from the solitary artistic genius to human supremacy over other species, WARP artists have collaboratively created monumental forms that challenge human exceptionalism.
