Hydrapangaea

Hydrapangaea was a wunderkammer of objects contemplating the history of Glasgow's collected archive of foreign curiosities collected through trade. The exhibition considered how modern technology and infrastructure has changed the way that knowledge and ideas are accessed. Spread across Glasgow Botanic Gardens, this group exhibition reflected on how foreign knowledge has been used as education and entertainment, shaping cultural identity.
