THE COMMUNITY IS NOT A HAPHAZARD COLLECTION OF INDIVIDUALS
A participatory project, part of Under Metallic Skies – Museum London, June 1 – October 20, 2024
A bit about the project + how to get started with this website:
THE COMMUNITY IS NOT A HAPHAZARD COLLECTION OF INDIVIDUALS thinks about those plants helping us to remediate land and wonders how we might support them in return.
Before diving in, receiving seeds, and planting them throughout your region, I’d like us to take a minute and think together about how we might extend a bit of care on to the seeds we’re working with. How, while relying on plants to do all of this work for us, we might support their ability to grow into the future.
As such, I’m asking that you take some time to consider the location* where you’d like to plant before receiving your custom-made seed packs.
After signing up:
First: I’ll share a few things to read through and to think about via this website; then, once you have a planting location in mind, you’ll be asked to answer some questions about it in a survey before receiving your Natural Plant Community toolkit in the mail.
If you have any questions or need more information, please get in touch: cbattle@cbattle.com
*Your seeds should be planted in the ground. If you’re not able to get to a location in order to plant them, consider sharing with someone else and work together to locate and monitor your site. You might consider a site that is near or far from you; private or public.
