An event horizon alludes to a boundary in space around a black hole beyond which nothing, including light, can escape. Acknowledging the current climate crisis of our planet, Approaching Event Horizons: Projects on Climate Change by Atlantika Collective understands that we are headed towards a point of no return, but resists the idea that a cataclysm is inevitable. 

Through sculptural explorations, photography, video, and sound, the seven artists in this exhibition address the growing consumerism culture and raise awareness about the current consequences of the environmental crisis—polluted and contaminated waters, intense variations in temperature, increasing deforestation, and wildfires.
