Earth’s Wishes challenges the notion that nature is separate from humanity, offering insights from Regina, a Mozambican agricultural producer, and Donna, a member of the Chippewa Cree Mohawk indigenous community. Through their stories, visitors are urged to listen attentively to the earth's emotions and resilience, prompting reflection on our connection to the natural world and our responsibility to heed its call.
