Nearly 10 years after her passing, the work of Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930–2017) has taken on a renewed urgency. In a world shaken by conflict, ecological collapse, and social division, her woven *Abakans* and haunting crowds of figures speak powerfully to themes of resilience, memory, and the human condition. This publication—accompanying the exhibition of the same name—presents her groundbreaking body of work alongside pieces by contemporary artists, including Anish Kapoor, Kimsooja, Diana Thater, Marlene Dumas, Kader Attia, Kristina Benjocki, Stijn Verhoeff, and Nicole Beutner, whose contributions serve as both counterpoints and continuations. Together, they initiate a dialogue that transcends generations and disciplines, inviting reflection on how nature and humanity form an indivisible whole.
