PARCE participates in Greendeal-NET Conference
PARCE is proud to participate in the GreenDeal-NET Conference by supporting an exhibition that brings an artistic dimension to the urgent themes of climate, environment, and collective responsibility.
For this edition, we curated a selection of works that open spaces for contemplation amid the conference’s scientific and policy-driven conversations. The participating artists explore the vulnerability of landscapes, the traces of human intervention, and the emotional layers of ecological change. Through drawing, installation, and mixed media, their works invite visitors to slow down, to sense before they analyse, and to engage with sustainability not only as a challenge but also as a shared experience.
By placing these artistic voices within the conference context, we aim to enrich the dialogue: art has the capacity to reveal what data alone cannot, to translate abstraction into feeling, and to spark exchanges that bridge disciplines. The exhibition stands as an invitation to reflect differently — to look more closely, linger a bit longer, and consider possibilities beyond the conventional frameworks.

Camilo Bojaca (COL)
Title: Wounded Deity
Year: 2022
Dimensions: 10.5 × 3.5 × 3 cm
Short Description: Wounded Deity depicts an indigenous deity symbolizing Mother Earth. The figure’s pregnant belly reveals a mine carved within, whilst lying on charcoal, representing the exploitation of nature by humanity. Through this powerful imagery, the work speaks to the deep wounds inflicted on the planet and its sacred origins by relentless human extraction and environmental disregard.
Title: Paisaje Mujer
Year: 2024
Dimensions: 61 × 37 cm
Short Description: Paisaje Mujer portrays Mother Earth transformed into a polluting factory, highlighting the stark contrast between nature’s nurturing essence and the destructive impact of industrialization. The work challenges viewers to reflect on the environmental consequences of human activity. The work is made on paper that is used to measure humidity levels.
About the artist
Camilo Bojacá reflects on the wounds inflicted by violence—on bodies, landscapes, and collective memory. Through the metaphor of the “body-landscape,” he draws a powerful parallel between the domination of nature and the exploitation of the feminine form. Echoing Colombia’s violent history, the work transforms trauma into poetic matter, confronting viewers with the fragile beauty of a violated world. Bojacá’s sculptural language is both intimate and political, evoking the urgent need to reclaim empathy in the face of destruction.
Kindi LLajtu (COL)
Title: Jugamos en la brisa
Year: 2022
Dimensions: 80 x 60 cm
Title: De juego en juego
Year: 2022
Dimensions: 70 x 140 cm
About the artist
Kindi Llajtu Álvarez Jacanamijoy is an indigenous Colombian artist from the Inga people of Putumayo. His name—Kindi, meaning feathers of the hummingbird—evokes the delicate energy that flows through his work. His paintings are not simply representations of nature; they are visual translations of Indigenous spiritual practices that understand nature as family and life as a continuous dialogue with rivers, wind, light, and movement. Layer upon layer, Kindi builds each canvas—painting over previous images until the final composition emerges—mirroring the cycles and depth of ancestral memory. His work offers a living expression of the interconnectedness between spirit, land, and identity, resisting fragmentation in a world shaped by displacement and globalization.

Title: S.O.S.
Year: 2025
Dimensions: 1.80 m x 1.66 m (The artwork is composed of 12 individual photographs, each measuring 60
cm x 42 cm)
Short Description: “S.O.S.” was born from a profound sense of urgency, an intense awareness of nature’s silent murmurs. In its own imperceptible language, the natural world is sending out a cry for help. Inspired by how trees communicate with each other not through words, but through their roots, via the underground fungal network, this piece aims to translate that natural exchange into a universal cry, one that we humans can understand. The forest, seemingly peaceful, is actually a living tapestry where every tree feels and reacts to the suffering of its neighbors. This project is my interpretation of that underlying message of ecological solidarity. “S.O.S.” isn’t just a simple plea for help; it’s an alert, even an accusation, an undeniable observation of our complicity in the planet’s suffering. Each viewer is invited to interpret this cry according to their own conscience. Is it a warning? A reminder that we are on the brink of an abyss, balancing between HELP and HELL? My hope is that, when confronted with this imposing and stark image, viewers will feel the urgency to respond to nature’s cry, a cry that not only comes from outside but also resonates within each of us. Because we are all connected, like trees, in an invisible network of causes and consequences. My project is a call to remember this interconnection and to act before it’s too late.

Ō MOTH (BE/COL)
Title: A wall with moths
Year: 2023
Dimensions: variable
Short Description: These moths, formed from the scraped dust of an old house, act as delicate vessels of memory and transformation. They embody the layered histories embedded in physical spaces and highlight how identity is shaped not only by individual presence but also by the traces left behind. By transforming dust—often overlooked and discarded—into living forms, O Moth reflects on the fragile and intertwined relationship between humans, their environments, and the passage of time, revealing how matter carries memory beyond human life.
Title: 3 Ranitas and Phyllobates
Year: 2019
Dimensions: 20 x 20 cm each
Short Description: These works are part of the project Hubo una vez…, which challenges the assumed superiority of humans. Through detailed portrayals of frogs, including endangerment levels —especially the endangered and highly poisonous Phyllobates terribilis, native to Colombia’s Pacific coast—O Moth draws attention to their ecological importance, vulnerability, and the threats they face from human activity. The pieces highlight the paradox of human actions that endanger both the environment and ourselves, emphasizing our shared fragility and the urgent need to acknowledge the interconnectedness of all species.
About the artist
O Moth is an interdisciplinary artist exploring how perception, identity, and meaning shape our sense of reality. Focusing on details—like ruins, dead animals, and urban barriers—O Moth examines the tension between human constructs and the autonomy of matter, inviting a poetic, critical view of the fragile nature of what we call reality.
Ō MOTH’s performance
Developed from artist O MOTH’s original performance in Australia, this water-based iteration by Parce for the Green Deal NET Conference 2025 invited participants to inscribe words on extinction and interconnection, watching them hover briefly on the surface of the water before slowly dissolving into water and merging into one another. The act symbolized how individual voices, like drops of water, merge into a collective current. The gesture transformed individual expressions into a shared, flowing consciousness - each word visible for a fleeting moment, then blending into a collective stream - reflecting on resilience, fragility, and the urgent need to reimagine our relationship with Earth in the face of climate change.
