In this talk, Alana Bartol (Assistant Professor, Painting) will discuss her drawing and video works in Herbaria, which respond to landscapes impacted by industrial extraction. Through research into native and invasive plant species, their site-responsive practice explores how we might learn from the intelligence of plants and their importance within local ecologies. Central to Alana's work is building relationships with plants. Courtesy of the Chatham-Kent Seed Library, native plant seeds will be available to attendees.

Chandra Clarke is a volunteer with the David Suzuki Foundation Butterflyway Project. Her talk will focus on the importance of pollinator-friendly gardens and native plants.
