The exhibition with a Bird, commissioned by Onomatopee, explores birds as transgressors, inspiring humans in both scientific and spiritual understandings of life. Birds are among the species most admired by humans, from their ability to fly to their navigational skills and song. They have been extensively observed, studied, and featured in many folktales. The human aspiration to become bird-like and acquire their qualities has influenced both scientific advancements and spiritual belief systems.

With a Bird, showcases research and artworks where artists explore how birds challenge and transgress categories such as human and non-human life, dream and reality, death and life, science, and folklore, as well as the realms of land, water, and sky.
