Learning from plants

During the meeting, we will consider the question of whether plants may inspire us. What can we learn from plants in terms of our everyday life, philosophy or political action? We will be guided by fragments of texts by several authors, including Urszula Zajączkowska and Michael Marder. Participants will be asked to share the history of their relationships with plants. You’re welcome to bring along plants from your collection!

The number of participants is limited. Click on the link to register.
