‘Three Tired Tigers’ is a group exhibition that delves into the often-overlooked presence of animals in urban landscapes.
Bringing together more than 40 artists and collectives, drawing from politics, history, economics and urbanism, the exhibition takes a playful yet serious approach to how animals navigate and thrive within the gaps of urban environments. ‘Three Tired Tigers’ asks what happens when animals escape their enclosures or conflict with humans, shifting from admired symbols to nuisances, from pets to pests. It challenges visitors to rethink coexistence, ecology and the importance of recognising animals as part of our everyday geographies.
Featuring works by artists engaging with urban animals across different regions – from Dubai’s many street cats to stories of displaced dogs, disappearing lions and bears living atop mountains – the exhibition invites us to view our cities and landscapes from a (mostly) four-legged perspective.
