Existing Otherwise

Existing Otherwise (XO) was conceived as an exhibition and discourse program in Berlin and Tamale (Ghana) by Isabel Lewis, Ibrahim Mahama, and Solvej Helweg Ovesen. The book presents the transformative artworks and discourses developed within the realm of this contemporary art project that happened during coronavirus pandemic times. Artists, choreographers, sustainable leadership thinkers, and scientists reflect in interviews and reschooling lectures about the future of coexistence, how to accept societal and physical collapse, recycling, and the space that art holds for transformation.
