WHERE: UW Biology Greenhouse
The “Uncanny Garden” proposes a re-reading of possible relationships and communications we, as humans, can build with non-human agents, through the lens of decolonization. In this exhibition, we extend our invitation to question what can be conceived as natural knowledge, and how this is confronted with a domestication of nature.
The intertwined relationship between us and plants can be traced to our ornamental garden and current greenhouses. This exhibition is a call to speculate on the multiple ways in which human and non-human agents create a system. It is also a call to look at what we might miss at first glance. What universes can we find by just lifting a stone?
