This project seeks to address the issue of the environmental justice that can only be approached through an analysis of the inseparable links between climate change and other forms of injustice related to gender, race, corporate imperialism, indigenous sovereignty, and the importance of decolonising and de-anthropocentrizing the planet in order to reshape an inclusive mindset akin to a multispecies world.
“Transplant” is Zamora latest work which is based on an experiment conducted by a team of biologists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in which they successfully transplanted cardiovascular heart cells into decellularized spinach leaves, the artwork “Transplant” consists in culturing Zamora’s heart cells in vegetable tissue in order to exhibit the results as a living artwork at the exhibition.
