HUMcard: notes from an artist
Digital mailout series
The HUMcard is an exclusive mailout series originally developed for Contemporary HUM's supporters, offering an intimate, unmediated look into international projects by Aotearoa artists and curators.
Each edition features exclusive images alongside a short text written directly by the practitioner, providing insights into the contexts, challenges and motivations behind exhibitions and residencies, and inviting the HUM community directly into the studios and processes of globally active creatives.

Porto-based New Zealand artist Yota Ayaan investigates the possibilities of human-plant communication in Plant Data, an exhibition at the Galeria da Biodiversidade, Centro Ciência Viva, in Porto’s Botanical garden. After visiting the show, writer and curator Alice Bonnot discusses here the urgent lessons that can be gleaned from it in the current climate crisis.
