Seonmin’s Weft on Care, Pigeons, and the unseen
In the context of the yearly theme Otherworldly communications we have invited Antwerp-based visual artist Seonmin Park, whose practice engages with socio-political themes and the lives of marginalized beings, to share her experiences in a weft*.
In recent years, her focus has turned toward urban pigeons, animals often dismissed as pests, but deeply entangled in the life of the city. After a pivotal experience in 2024, when she rescued and cared for an injured pigeon harmed by plastic waste, It shaped her perspective and through this intimate act of care, questions of visibility, responsibility, and coexistence came into sharper focus.
In this weft, Seonmin reflects on transforming the unseen into presence and invites us to reconsider how we value the lives that exist alongside us.
The weft will be published on Constant’s website in 2026.
*A weft is a thematic article written by guest artist(s) for Constant’s website.
