Rather than treating plants as subject matter, it asks what happens when artists let plants set the terms—following their growing seasons, metabolic cycles and movements across territories, along with the stories and knowledge systems that gather around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contributions are arranged as a kind of correspondence, putting practices from several continents into conversation, each grounded in particular places and ecologies. The result is both a record of collective research and a set of prompts for undertaking it—a book about interdependence that is itself built from exchange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtworks, dialogues, roundtables, essays and scores gathered in a single volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38 contributors, including Åsa Sonjasdotter, Keg de Souza, Christian Thompson, Banu Subramaniam, Zheng Bo, Alana Hunt and Jorge Menna Barreto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Zenobia Ahmed, with images edited by Paul Mylecharane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted on Munken Polar Rough and Constellation Snow papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow following a plant—through seed, crop, archive or ritual—can become a method for artistic research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWays of thinking about collectivity and interdependence through plant–human relations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow stories, knowledge systems and critical methodologies can be placed in dialogue rather than ranked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScores and prompts for undertaking collective research of your own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMadeleine Collie is the initiator and lead curator of Follow the Plants, which began as an experimental exchange she started in 2023 within the Food Art Research Network.
