By examining the ways in which words and images are arranged on canvas, paper, film, and wood, the exhibition catalog offers insights into how even the most restrictive of conditions can experience the simultaneity of magic and realism, revolution and subversion. The term \"Tropical\" is a geographically expansive one that has resisted precise definitions, its ability to intertwine with various political and cultural desires making it perpetually plural and contradictory. To accommodate both fiction and non-fiction, as well as philosophical, technological, and mythical narratives, the exhibition adopts a polyphonic approach to \"stories.\" Beyond the realm of climate, this richly illustrated book ventures into the tropical as a tangible, material, strategic, relational, and radical space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 965g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789811871535\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46171993964794,"sku":"9789811871535","price":21.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717190955496_book.jpg?v=1717427321","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/tropical-stories-from-southeast-asia-and-latin-america-9789811871535","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
