Part one is an exploration of the spaces around Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan focussing on the growth in sidewalks, back alleys, inside unoccupied plots, around mature trees and on the vertical surfaces. Participants will study and discuss plant forms and sightings of non-human species and hold them as learnings.
Walking slowly, participants will touch, identify and consciously collect materials of value for growing or to ornament. Examples of materials can include found materials made of clay, metal, plastic, cellulose that can become the growing vessels along with humus as the growing medium and plants in the form of seeds, seedlings and cuttings.
In the second part at the institute, participants will settle down to compose their found objects into miniature landscapes followed by a short show-and-tell session. They will be encouraged to talk about their process and the planted artworks. Participants are invited to take home their creation(s).
