Explore misunderstood urban plants, often falsely called “weeds,” and discover their incredible resilience. During an exploratory walk, you’ll see these plants growing in cracks in the concrete, imagine their life, and invent evocative names for them. When you return to the workshop, you’ll make an illustrated herbarium, mixing drawing, collage, and writing, to describe the beauty and quiet strength of these survivors. It’s a playful, poetic, and sensitive workshop that invites you to cast a new eye on nature in the city and revive your capacity for being amazed at life.
From the exhibitions Rosa Luxemburg Resistant Herbarium by artist Paula Valero Comín, and The Matriarch: Unravelled Threads by artist Mallory Lowe Mpoka
