ABOUT
Exhibition of the photographic work produced jointly by the artist Jo Milne and the participants of the workshop Shared Botanics And Collaborative Creative Workshop at L'Hort de la Xinesca which took place on 8th June 2024.
This workshop was led by artist, Jo Milne, and professors Joan Vallés and Teresa Garnatje from the Institut Botànic de Barcelona.
Curated by Eva Figueras and Mar Redondo from the University of Barcelona.
Artists and botanists from the University of Barcelona and the Botanical Institute of Barcelona proposed a temporary, participatory space for exchanging knowledge and experiences, while also expressing creativity through experimentation with the cyanotype process.
In the workshop, we explored botanical, ethnobotanical, social, cultural, and artistic themes, experimenting with how creativity can enhance ecological awareness, promote sustainable cultivation, and prioritize quality over quantity and over-consumption.
Using locally sourced produce, we created a community herbarium with images of plants, celebrating the flora of village gardens.
