In Radical Botanical the plants are active, sometimes provocative. The artists of this group exhibition all explore critical, playful, and challenging new ways of engaging with plants. Novel creative methods generate new perspectives on flora that adorn, perfume, cure, invade, or struggle for survival. Sensitive engagements with vegetation propagate ecological and cultural exchanges, while past botanical traditions are reimagined or critiqued, breaking down hierarchies of artistic practice, gender, and species.
