Herbaria is a group exhibition that reflects on humanity’s fragile and evolving relationship with plant life and the systems that shape our understanding of it. Rooted in Chatham-Kent’s agricultural legacy—from Indigenous practices and European homesteading to today’s industrial farming—this exhibition resonates with the region’s deep ecological history and the urgent challenges of food security and climate change. Bringing together diverse artistic perspectives, Herbaria invites viewers to consider how more organic, sustainable systems might emerge in response to these complex issues.
Artists: Carrie Allison, Alana Bartol (Assistant Professor, Painting), Patricia Coates, Lisa Hirmer, Susan Turcot and Eva Peskin with the Cedar Listening Circle
