Building on the success of 2021 symposium in which transdisciplinary dialogue was generated around the newly enlivened subject of vegetal life, Phytogenesis II seeks to expand the field of enquiry by exploring more overtly political and activist nuances and provocations in the plant-philosophy-photography assemblage.
Climate change, and its devastating global effects, provides an impetus for this shift in focus, away from the instrumental and towards the ethical, allowing for ‘plant-human becomings and coevolutions to emerge’ (Aloi, 2018).
Organized by Dr Carole Baker & Marjolaine Ryley, with : Dr Prue Gibson and Dr Fabri Blacklock, Dr Giovanni Aloi, Dr Uriel Orlow, Nettie Edwards, William Arnold, Jamie House, Malcolm Dickson, Hannah Fletcher.
