Thinking with Plants: Ecofeminism and Contemporary Art
Leeds Museums & Galleries
Talk

This talk introduces ecofeminism as an imaginative and critical way of thinking about plants, ecology, and contemporary art. Drawing on feminist and ecological thinking, it explores how artists engage plant life not as a scientific object, but as a site of relation, memory, care, and political meaning. Bringing works from Plant Dreaming into dialogue with broader currents in contemporary art and curatorial practice, the talk reflects on storytelling, myth, embodiment, and traditional knowledges as ways of reimagining human–plant relationships in the context of ecological crisis, displacement, and environmental injustice.
