5x15 on Botanic Gardens: Past & Future, with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
Building upon Kew's commitment to re-examine the history of its collections, this event will explore the colonial legacies of botany and botanic gardens, featuring a panel of leading writers and thinkers in this area.
All too often history shows us that the origins of botanic gardens are intertwined with the histories of colonialism, imperialism and enslavement. How can understanding these connections pave the way to a more inclusive future? Given this legacy, what is the role that botanic gardens play today in supporting and addressing climate justice? Speakers include Sathnam Sanghera and Andrea Wulf. Online.
