Empowering people with plant knowledge. Our aim is to raise awareness about the roles of plants in our lives, with particular focus on medicine and human health. We do so by designing educational content, public space installations, practical workshops or community outreach, working with people from various social and cultural backgrounds all over the world. By using arts, culture, and digital media as a vehicle for social change, we create impactful projects that result in better understanding of the natural world.<\/p>\n
Workshop focus:<\/strong> In this workshop, we will explore selected medicinal plant species, its individual parts (roots, leaves, fruits or flowers), with particular focus on their olfactory properties – a defining aspect of essential oils also known as one of the secondary plant metabolites. What could be their potential for creative practice? From basic visual plant identification to associating smells to memories, the aim of this experience is to discover plants from underexplored angles.<\/p>\n

The next lab session promises to help you to unleash your creativity by becoming free from the habitual way of perceiving the everyday and tapping into the hidden resources of the subconscious. It will be the perfect anti-dote to our \u201cscreen life\u201d and the pandemic (which further stigmatises touch). In the absence of sight, touch transforms the everyday into an adventure for the imagination.<\/p>\n
