Doors open 7pm, Thursday 28th February. Talk starts at 7.30pm. Free places can be booked here.

As part of the Cultivator funded creative network series, Dominica Williamson will take us on an interactive plant journey that starts with a look at the Hypatia Trust archives and the Eden Project Florilegium Society. She will then focus on how she is slowly drawing and modelling ecosystems through studying and creating traditional botanical plates, and by looking at plants that are indigenous and non-indigenous through the sciences, and through embedded knowledge and people’s feelings.

Dominica is an artist working in the field of interdisciplinary design and sustainability and new materialism. After completing a Leverhulme Artist in Residence with the University of Plymouth, her practice around plants has blossomed. She has co-worked with scientists and communities on a Global Challenges Research Fund during which Mangrove forests became integral to the project. Currently she is co-creating landscape-based work on a pan European cultural project called Ruritage.
