The Curator Hub is a space of reworlding, where curation is expanded into a practice of ecological care and cultural transformation. It’s where educators, artists, policy-makers, and the ecologically curious come together.
This hub holds space for dialogue, unlearning, and radical imagination. It is a living archive, a relational practice, and a commitment to shaping futures with more care.
Carine, through Grounded in Motion, curates experiences rooted in ecological reverence and climate-centred relationality where nature is a collaborator in the act of meaning-making.
At the center of all of our projects and curations is acknowledging and celebrating our Animate Earth. Her living, breathing being, her wisdom, and resilience.
Projects & Curations
Mycelium Networks
Created to evoke wonder and appreciation for our planet’s biodiversity and our humble place within it. In collaboration with Berlin based artist Clare Celeste and Argentinian guitarist Federico Diaz it aims to enmesh visitors in thousands of hand cut images of flora and fauna, a reminder that we are all inextricably connected to the larger web of life. The artworks serve as gathering spaces for reconnection and healing so we may find our place as stewards of life. “As we forge plans for expensive carbon capture technologies, we destroy soil ecosystems that do this work more effectively.” This collaboration is a celebration of the wisdom of the soil and its underground networks. The soundscape and pedagogical workshop were designed to strengthen the relational tissues of our movements for justice and ecological healing, involving contemplative practices, writing exercises and moments of silent walking to give space for eco grief and joy.
Dark Sky’s Project
As light pollution reaches new heights, about ⅓ of humanity can no longer see the celestial river known as the Milky Way. Grounded In Motion curates a variety of installations focused on raising awareness within the Rights of Nature and Dark Sky movement. We turn toward the celestial fires that guide us wayfinders as we seek to re-establish thriving ecosystems and worldviews of ancestral belonging. The Night offers an infinite sense of awe and reminder of perspective, history and life. Our projects intertwine ecology with cultural traditions related to sky observation. A series of education workshops and reflective writing sessions accompany these installations.
Murmurs - Rivers in the Sky
Inspired by our spoken word composition and work within the Rights of Nature movement, we have been curating a series on the Rights of Rivers and cocreating as a way to continue our exploration of our relational existence with Our Earth Body.
Water Walks
‘Water Walks’ is part of a growing movement that recognizes that an ecosystem has the right to exist, flourish, regenerate its vital cycles and be protected against pollution. This movement is striving for a paradigm shift in which nature is placed at the center and humans are connected to it in an interdependent way, rather than a dominant one. The project is taking place as a series, and began with the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, moving to the Great Salt Lake, Madrid Rio, and eventually Lake Michigan. The project brings together founder of Grounded In Motion Carine Gibert, activist and writer Ash Sanders, Music Thanatologist Catharine DeLong, and artist Lana Neilson.
Madrid Murmurations
Grounded In Motion’s Deep Ecology Exploration “City Cycles” opens a conversation to examine what it means to engage with place, symbiosis, regenerative living, and alternative possibilities. Symbiocene, a term coined in 2011, aims to shape the next era of human history as one characterised by harmonious interactions between humans and all other living beings. 'City Cycles' will draw attention to the natural ecosystems that sustain our lives and livelihoods, now often removed from our cities, as well as the need to bring into awareness the intersection of the natural world and human urban infrastructures.
Truth, Reckoning, and Right Relationship with the Great Lakes
Rights of Nature Advocacy and Education Design in collaboration with the Community Environmental Defense Fund, Earth Lawyers, Community Organizers including SUNDANCE American Indian Movement and Multimedia Artists. Installation curated and designed to center soundscapes and spoken word as we reckon with the extractive industries that pollute our waters and destroy eco-systems.
Entangled Futures
Collaboration with the Forest For Trees Collective, an ecofeminist artist collective based in New York City, focused on re-imagining environmental art, climate futurism, and ecojustice through education and action. Focused on responding to gaps in public and private climate change education with deeply resonant and informative art. The collective features interdisciplinary artists who are invested in responding to the climate crisis with style, originality, and emotional resonance.
A Designed Journey
“It’s about the feeling someone leaves with whether its reverence, grief, or connection.”
Curation here is an embodied sequence of ideas, art, and experiences that awaken us to life’s entanglements.
Pedagogical & Emotional Practice
“Curation is designing learning. It’s a merging of the scientific and the intuitive.”
We honour curation as education, unlearning colonial narratives and reimagining regenerative ones.
Role of the Curator
Caretaker. Translator. Provocateur.
“Curating this balance between grief and inspiration is what I’m most excited to speak to.”
Ecological Equity & Participatory Transformation
We curate with, not for. With artists, scientists, ancestral memory, and future descendants.
