Future Gardening was conceived as a growing exhibition, with the results of the research being added during the exhibition period. Alongside the artists themselves, we also want to invite the audience to join us in this undertaking. Therefore, with this series of Study Sessions, we are inviting a focused group of participants to join us as artistic researchers. Specifically, we want to practice, study and gather bodily tactics for observing that lead to transformations in our relation to urban ecologies. How do you observe, how do you sense, and are you open to sensing otherwise?

Deep listening, reading, drawing and recording will be some of the practices with which we learn to let our senses be woven by our environments. Inspired by auto-ethnographic methodologies that dive deeply into when and how relationships with places and plants are established, we will reflexively study the efficacy of each practice. Held in a diverse community, we develop, test and train these practices in support and accountability to each other. Together we form an archive of embodied practices and knowledges, which, in community outside of regular knowledge institutions, can find more unruly ways of developing itself.

Each study session will involve a visit to our three artist gardens, where the artists will walk us through the practices that work for them. Lots of space will be given to share questions and practices you already hold, and might wish to deepen into.
