Free Radicals Survey Mapping Plant Knowledge in European Arts & Culture Sector
The Creative Europe supported Free Radicals research project explores the intersections between plant biodiversity and artistic practice. Free Radicals is a two-year research project exploring the intersections between plant biodiversity and artistic practice.
Through a series of artist residencies, living labs, online lectures and other formats, they are developing a toolkit for individuals and institutions within the European creative and cultural sectors, designed to help shape practices that support plant biodiversity.
By shifting attention from plants as passive objects toward plants as participants in shared ecological worlds, they seek to cultivate more attentive cultural practices, and in doing so contribute to futures that support planetary health and the flourishing of the many forms of life that inhabit it.
Survey: How do you engage with Plants?
Based on their survey results, Free Radicals aims to track how artists, designers, curators, and institutions engage with plant knowledge.
By filling out their survey, you help them develop effective tools and resources. It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. All respondents will be notified about the publication of the resulting toolkit.
