This weekend MASS MoCA is hosting
Contemporary Nature: Tending the Garden, a public symposium that poses questions for our ecological future: How do we tend the garden into co-becoming with the earth and all that it embodies? How can artists help us understand the interdependence between nature and humanity? Artists, scholars, and students convene to share their experiences on what co-becoming means to them in their art, gardening, and land stewardship practices.
One of my students, in conversation with me, will present a research project she completed as part of my Wilderness Mindset work. Her project explores how early women botanists Jane Colden, Anne Kingsbury Wollstonecraft, and Emily Dickinson used the study of plants to challenge patriarchal barriers to scientific and intellectual life, reclaiming botany as a space for research, artistic expression, and spiritual inquiry.
Join us this Friday, March 13th at 5 pm in the R&D store at MASS MoCA to hear what we have to say. Or come for the whole weekend. Tickets available here. I'll be wearing my river spirit dress, the one I'm pictured in here!
