22 April Earth Day: Discover new connections with your plants in a two-part workshop
Part 1: 4.00 pm - 5.30 pm
BREAK
Part 2: 7.00 pm - 8.00 pm
What would it be like to have a different relationship with a plant? How do plants respond to your presence and what does it mean to care for plants?
Are you curious to research these and other plant-based questions? In the 'Terrestrial Workshop' Hello Plant! we challenge you to rethink, investigate and enhance your relationship with plants. Based on our research and artistic practice about vegetal life, we will work through a series of questions and exercises. Our aim is to challenge and reshape our ideas about the natural world with plants, and explore ways of collaborating and taking action.
The discoveries and insights from the first part of this workshop serve as the breeding ground for the second part. We will look for fertile ground to work together and to tackle ecological problems: a terrestrial action!
Do you want to start the workshop well-rooted? Then listen to our podcast 'How to Be With Plants' (will be published on 14 April) and don't forget to dust off your plant!
