about this book

Follow the Plants is an invitation to follow plants through histories, growing seasons, metabolic cycles, literature, art, bodies, archives, and collective ritual. Bringing together artworks, dialogues, roundtables, essays, and scores, the publication offers both examples of and prompts for collective research, tracing the different worlds through which plants circulate and generate meaning.

Bringing stories, knowledge systems, and critical methodologies into conversation, Follow the Plants explores how creative practices emerge through relationships with the territories, ecologies, and imaginaries that plants inhabit and animate.

Approaching plants as agents, interlocutors, and companions in world-making, the book considers how following plants can open up new aesthetic, political, and epistemic questions, cultivating new ways of thinking about collectivity, interdependence, and plant-human relations in artistic research.
