Join us to discuss how art helps to communicate the interconnections between culture, politics, and ecology. This public gathering and symposium celebrate the wide-ranging outcomes that followed the fall 2021 Museum London exhibition GardenShip and State.
The two-day event draws artists, scholars, community members, and activists to highlight the exciting community projects that followed the exhibition. Programming will include a lineup of talks, performances, and screenings related to the exhibition and the broad themes of ecological stewardship and decolonization. The event will also launch a 300-page publication documenting the exhibition, sharing stories, and detailing the related creative projects.
The event is open to all, including a reception to cap off the events on Friday and a welcome tea with treats at midday on Saturday.
Presenters include Ron Benner, Nandi Bhatia, Sean Caulfield, Paul Chartrand, Tom Cull, Candace Dube, Michael Farnan, Amelia Fay, Joan Greer, Jamelie Hassan, Sharmistha Kar, Jessica Karuhanga, Mark Kasumovic, Reilly Knowles, Patrick Mahon, Ruth Skinner, Quinn Smallboy, Ashley Snook, Jeff Thomas, Katie Wilhelm, Michelle Wilson, Nina Zitani.
