About the exhibition

Initially commissioned for Folkestone Triennial 2025, Katie Paterson’s Afterlife is a sculptural installation comprised of nearly 200 amulets. Each amulet is created with materials sourced from endangered landscapes and fragile ecosystems, exploring themes of deep time, geology, and the environment. Drawing on centuries of cultural and spiritual traditions, Afterlife prompts us to reflect on the fragility of the natural world today.
