Pham Huy Thong, What If We Were Them, oil, 160x400cm, 2011 RM 33,000 |
Art for Nature is back! We invite the public and all our supporters to view
an exhibition of challenging contemporary art works that explore ideas related to unsustainable
consumption and how our insatiable appetites have driven the natural environment to a tipping
point.
Consumption drives our economies, but also drives environmental degradation. A lot of consumption
is beyond our control; we rarely know where our food comes from or what production costs are in
environmental terms. “Can eat or not?” is a standard refrain of Malaysians. We share an absurd sense
of national pride in our fixation with food and our ability to eat anything in front of us. Our interest in
nature is largely controlled by what we can get out of it – is that fruit edible? How do you cook that
fish? What are the medicinal properties of the plant, and will it cure my baldness? – rather than what
we can contribute to nature, or our own increasingly precarious position on the top of the food chain.
When our personal enjoyment is at stake, we shouldn’t let our sense of responsibility lapse. By eating
shark’s fin, we are as culpable as the fisherman who finned and left the fish to drown. We do not
need to take animals from the wild to cure our ailments when we have an arsenal of pharmaceutical
solutions. There is no scientific proof that a tiger’s tooth can cure rabies or asthma. Or that turtle eggs
will increase one’s libido.
Humans are the only species who can choose to modify their behaviour and we need to do so sooner
rather than later. Make no mistake when we loose these wonderful species we will lose their habitats
and free environmental services that come with those healthy marine and terrestrial spaces.
Malaysians can make better food choices without sacrificing our pride in our food. We can make
decisions with our head rather than our stomach.
