OFFERING with Tej Adeleye, tyroneisaacstuart and Masumi Saito | 17 Jan 2026
About
Proposition welcomed guests to OFFERING – an afternoon of poetry, music and dance that brought together three artists whose practices cultivated embodied dialogues with ecological interdependencies.
Tej Adeleye, tyroneisaacstuart and Masumi Saito wove word, sound and movement to reflect on the term ‘land art’, in conversation with the group exhibition After Nature. Their practices gestured toward forms of relation that both preceded—and extended beyond—the term’s canonical boundaries.
These activations were grounded in the present moment, honouring the environments that shaped them while considering how culture remembers, records and relates to living ancestral worlds. OFFERING was an invitation to experience art not as an inscription upon land, but as a relational field unfolding with it.
