Sensory Ethnography Workshop

Part of the exhibition HAPTIC HORTUS – Touching Plants

November 2nd, 4 – 6 pm
Sensory Ethnography Workshop

The Sensory Ethnography Workshop focuses on the role of the senses, especially of touch, in knowledge production and multispecies affecting in gardening. We start with an exercise for somatic attunement and a short theoretic input based on our fieldwork in the Botanical Garden. After that, the participants have the opportunity to encounter vegetal beings on their own, embedded in a common gardening care practice. How does it feel like? What can we know about plants by touching them?

Please register for the free workshop by sending an email to cornelia.ertl@fu-berlin.de

Please note that on November 2nd, public access to the installation will only be from 6-8 pm.
