Terrafilia, a term that combines Terra (Earth) with filia (love and friendship), expresses a deep connection of affection, care and responsibility to the Earth and its countless inhabitants. Loving the Earth involves engaging with animals, plants, geological formations and supernatural creatures, as well as rethinking the place of humanity within the complex and tangled network of life. Faced with the growing pressures of global warming, loss of biodiversity and growing inequalities, this exhibition uses art to imagine and orient visitors towards transformative ways of being-in-the-world, mobilizing affinity between species, new types of collectivities and planetary care.
Organized in collaboration with TBA21-Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Terrafilia brings together about a hundred works covering five centuries of the Thyssen-Bornemisza, Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, including artists such as Joachim Patinir, Wassily Kandisnky, Natalia Goncharova, Dineo Seshee Bopape, Ins Zenha, Ayrson Heraclito and Hervé Yamguen. These works present an evocative spectrum of artistic and intellectual explorations, revealing the depth and scope of stories beyond the human and imaginary multi-species. Resisting the entrenched dualism of modern cosmology, based on the separation between the social and the natural, the exhibition invites visitors, through the lens of artists from various generations and traditions, to meet the world as a multiverse: a world of many worlds. Terrafilia also marks a decisive shift away from anthropocentric and western-centric perspectives, embracing an emerging planetary policy. In doing so, it aligns with recent philosophical, anthropological, ethical and legal twists that advocate the recognition of non-human life and biological and geological entities as participants of a planetary multitude.
Structured into seven interconnected scenarios, the exhibition addresses topics such as cosmograms, animated worlds, the art of dreams, objectivity, relations with the earth, mythical times and ocean cosmogonies. These thematic currents guide visitors through different ways of relating to the Earth - through myth, science, dreams, stories, spirituality and ecology, while critically questioning the stories of colonial expansion, resource extraction and ecological violence that have shaped the current planetary crisis.

Stepping into the throne room of the palace of Madrid, dazzled by 4,000 crystal lights. Fingers crossed the dark lines of the silk wall, as if touching the pulse of the Bourbon dynasty. The most amazing thing was the encounter of 18th-century porcelain fragments at the corner of the royal kitchen.
