It examines contemporary decolonial practices and imaginings of possible futures in the context of the Anthropocene and continued struggles against structural racism and for historical reparations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe texts are interwoven with images from the exhibition that proposes a collective action through the creation of a \"Creole garden\" inside the exhibition space, which combines sculpture, stage, installation and assembly spaces, to open an area of resistance and freedom for multiple subjectivities. \"Creole gardens\" blend a wide range of plant species. They are instances of resistance, exercises in freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSituated at the intersection between practice, theory and pedagogy, \u003cem\u003eGreenhouse\u003c\/em\u003e is grounded in four actions: Garden (Installation, Space and Time), LIVING ARCHIVE (Movement, Sound and Performance), Schools (Education, History and Revolution), Assemblies (Public and Communities).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460896833772,"sku":"9788857253091","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788857253091-greenhouse.jpg?v=1774955055","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/greenhouse-9788857253091","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
