POPOP Gallery: Haku Pora

At POPOP, a gallery space within the Belgo Building, artist RIESBRI created an environment where the audience is forced to contend with one of the realities of the ongoing climate crisis: rising temperatures. The title of the exhibition,  Haku Porã, translates to ‘it’s pretty hot,’ proved literal as I entered the gallery space wearing my winter coat. I was immediately taken aback by the heat of the rather small room. It was significantly different from the rest of the building.
