The Institute of Queer Ecology, co-founded by Lee Pivnik, has been invited to curate a group installation at the Klima Biennial at Kunst Haus Wien, featuring artwork by Bakehouse artist Christine Cortes.
I Wish We Had More Time explores ecological, communal, and relational loss—tracing disrupted symbioses in nature, fractures in queer histories, and the melancholic timing of missed connections. Grounded in queer ecology, the project considers interdependence across species and systems while imagining more just and interconnected futures.
