Authors include Bernd Brabec De Mori, Gina Buenfeld, Martin Clark, Emanuele Coccia, Stephan Harding, C. G. Jung, and Terence McKenna.
A 224-page fully illustrated publication has been launched as a companion to the The Botanical Mind project, including essays by the curators and contributions from scholars from the main areas covered by the exhibition: alchemy; art history; plant ontology; Gaian ecology; anthropology; and ethnobotany. It will be available as a resource for people enjoying the online content from home as well as accompanying the exhibition.
Drawing on indigenous traditions from the Amazon rainforest; alternative perspectives on Western scientific rationalism; and new thinking around plant intelligence, philosophy and cultural theory, The Botanical Mind Online investigates the significance of the plant kingdom to human life, consciousness and spirituality across cultures and through time. It positions the plant as both a universal symbol found in almost every civilisation and religion across the globe, and the most fundamental but misunderstood form of life on our planet.
The Botanical Mind Online is curated by Gina Buenfeld and Martin Clark.
