Amos Gebhardt sits down with fill-in host Nana Owusu on The Score to discuss their upcoming exhibition Mångata, which blends sound, moving image, and moonlit photography to explore themes of climate justice, abolition, and anti-oppression.

Known for challenging dominant narratives, Amos’s work features influential figures like Prof Aileen Moreton-Robinson and Alexis Wright, captured across six lunar cycles.

The exhibition’s title, Mångata—a Swedish word describing the moon’s reflection on water, symbolising a path toward transformation—captures the essence of the work.

Illuminated by moonlight, Amos’s portraits reveal the quiet strength of these visionaries, each photographed on land of personal cultural significance. These diverse landscapes deepen the connection to their stories, grounding the themes of freedom and change in the places that have shaped them.

Paired with Lawrence English’s hypnotic sound composition, created from electromagnetic pulses of the Earth, Mångata offers a meditative, immersive experience that bridges the celestial and the human.

The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the profound connections between nature, time, and the struggle for change, encouraging a deeper understanding of how these forces can guide us toward collective liberation.
