Coinciding with Tenderpixel current show ‘Becoming plant’ we gathered at Telegraph Hill Park to explore how it might feel to live and think like a plant. Drawing from Lou-Atessa Marcellin current research, we shared a number of ideas and titles we are excited about. Amonst other texts we read excerpts from ‘Bodies of Water, Human Rights and the Hydrocommons’ by Astrida Neimanis, Prima Belladonna by J.G Ballard and Holobiont by birth: Multilineage individuals as the concretion of cooperative processes by Scott.F.Gilbert amongst others.
