State of the art It is essential to rethink the way humans relate to the environment as well as other human and non-human beings. Addressing the Biodiversity Crisis in the plant world allows to go to the root of the problem and understand the world from a non-human perspective.
Description of the project Roots & Seeds XXI sustains that better action and behavioural commitments to sustainability can be achieved by using transdisciplinary practices, approaches and techniques to develop passion and emotional connection for sustainable living, promoting habits that take care of the environment and specifically plants, contributing to a common botanical literacy. Roots & Seeds XXI aims to reflect on the biodiversity emergency, analysing from different perspectives the transformation, adaptation and resilience of plants, while promoting the intersection of art and science as the main platform to raise awareness about these issues, analyse its causes and possible solutions.

Art communicates through emotions and science through analysis and reason. Together, they communicate the message more broadly and effectively. Creative Europe’s support Creating a project together at a European level was the natural result of common views and of previous collaborations among partners. In this context, Creative Europe’s support was essential to develop projects that tackle sustainability through interdisciplinary practices.

The project will contribute to the creation of an “open protocol” to provide references and guidelines for artists, scientists, activists, institutions, individual researchers and research groups to develop co-creation methodologies between art and science professionals.
