Coming up this week on Cultivating Place, host Ben Futa is in conversation with artist & activist Gardener, Tanja Hollander. Tanja works with gardens, social practice, photography, video, and installation to understand how cultural and visual relationships help us make sense of our chaotic world.
Very specifically, her Mourning Flowers and Ephemera projects bring awareness, often through flowers and communal acts of gardening, to the ripple effects of trauma and fear that communities sustain after acts of violence, specifically gun violence.
In these chaotic and frequently violent times, we can all use some mourning to compost trauma into healthier minds, hearts, communities - and gardens. Listen in!
