Mother Earth Calling

Mother Earth Calling is an art exhibition held in Basel in October 2021, with global Atelier Mondial artists and amongst others, local artists from House Oslo Studios Cooperative with community interaction and participation. The exhibition features artists from Argentina, Brasil, Canada, England, India, Japan, Germany, Greece, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Switzerland, expressing their works in varying media forms, curated by Rama Kalidindi.

'Mother Earth Calling' is a Global-Local-Community collaboration between artists who travelled from far and wide to extend their art practice in Basel at Atelier Mondial, our local artists at the House Oslo Ateliers Cooperative and some other selected artists, working closely with local and global communities, including in Delhi, which has become particularly relevant in this time of Covid lockdown due to the virus' rampant spread. 

This exhibition was planned for autumn 2020 but due to the ever increasing restrictions caused by the Covid pandemic, it was curbed and it's energy remained latent and dormant. The sleeping serpent has awakened in the midst of a truly global phenomena, with variants and vaccines, socio-economic crises from a primarily public health issue which has blown up into higher and greater proportions that cannot easily be contained. It has been a big test for humanity, demonstrating all its flaws, showing its strengths, weaknesses, grave mistakes and desperations. 

Now, this project has turned around from the idea of something more peaceful with spiritual idealisms
