The Secret Life of Plants and Trees

The concluding exhibition of the Büchsenhausen Fellowship Program for Art and Theory 2023-24 explores today’s growing antagonisms and shifts in identity politics. Decolonial questioning of (post)Soviet identity formation, queer cruising practices in repressive societies, and the (im) possibility of socio-political identity constructions as an Arab Jew in the context of Israel-Palestine are central themes that unfold in the respective works with the help of and in dialogue with botanical actors.
