Gather with us in the Kaisaniemi Botanic outdoor gardens and on the OOO Radio airwaves for a late afternoon listening session. With live readings from contributors Joana Quiroga, Joss Allen and Sirkku Rosi, and recordings shared from those further afield including Alana Hunt, Annalee Davis, Christian Thompson, Mariana Martínez Balvanera and Zayaan Khan, the floor is also open for in person attendees to read and recite from the book or share their own stories of plant following through recipes, exercises, or found texts. We welcome you to bring plant snacks, and stories of plant resilience and plant companions.

This event is a collaboration between Bioart Society, Food Art Research Network, OOO Radio and Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden. To listen remotely, join via OOO Radio.
