Description
Shipping Roots: A Journey Through Empire The movement of plants across land masses has been shaped by human activity, with both intentional and unintentional transport playing a significant role. This phenomenon accelerated during European colonial expansion, which had a profound impact on ecosystems worldwide. The legacy of colonialism can still be seen in the landscapes of today, and its effects are now understood to have contributed to climate change and biodiversity loss. Keg de Souza's exhibition explores this history through the lens of plant species, drawing on her own experiences as an artist of Goan heritage living on unceded land in Sydney. The stories shared by de Souza reveal the lesser-known themes of plants being transported across oceans and lands, highlighting the entanglement of plants and people in understanding place and belonging. This book includes high-quality photography from the exhibition, alongside essays and recipes contributed by numerous authors.
