This Devon exhibition explores why, when it comes to the environment, the planetary is not at odds with the local

The article discusses the exhibition 'Sensing the Planet' by Ashish Ghadiali at Thelma Hulbert Gallery, which examines the interconnectedness of local and global perspectives. Ghadiali argues against the notion that the planetary and local are opposing concepts, emphasizing their coexistence. The exhibition features diverse multimedia works, including references to ecological theories and personal narratives, highlighting the impacts of environmental issues. By drawing on various historical and personal elements, the show demonstrates how local experiences are intricately linked to global phenomena.

"There is a received idea that the planet or the planetary is somehow opposed to the local, and this actually doesn't make any sense once you start to investigate what the planet is, and where it is..."

"Using photographic prints, film works and a sound piece all made within the last two years, Sensing the Planet examines the profound ways in which we are all impacted by these macro-micro intertwinings and their consequences."
