Kasia Molga: Petroentanglements

From October 17 to November 7, 2025, Polish-British artist Kasia Molga will present her exhibition Petroentanglements: How to Be Present for Aqua-life at Galerija Filodrammatica (Korzo 28/1, Rijeka).
Presented installation is the result of Molga’s artistic residency in Rijeka as part of the international project S+T+ARTS4WaterII. During the residency, she explored the complex relationships between humans, marine life, and the petrochemical industry, which has been present in this region since the second half of the 19th century.
Petroentanglements invites audiences to descend into the submerged ecologies of the Adriatic Sea, where traces of human industry merge with marine life. Developed through scuba dives and underwater fieldwork near post-industrial sites around Rijeka, Croatia, it explores how petrochemical residues continue to shape aquatic ecosystems.

The talk about the exhibition and Molga’s experiences during the Rijeka residency will take place on Friday, October 17, 2025, at 7 p.m., followed by the exhibition opening at 8 p.m.
The exhibition will remain on view until 7 November during gallery hours: weekdays from 11 AM to 1 PM and 5 to 8 PM, and Saturdays from 5 to 8 PM. Admission is free.
