This second episode from artist Luiza Prado de O. Martins' series, Notes to the Seers, explores the plant rue.
The second episode from artist Luiza Prado de O. Martins’ series, Notes to the Seers, explores the plant rue (or arruda).
In this three-part series, listeners are invited to encounter artemisia, Queen Anne’s Lace and rue, guided by the artist’s voice within a soundscape created by Obaro Ejimiwe.
These three plants grow wild both in the Americas and Europe; vegetal material travelling across geographical, political, and cultural borders. This sensorial encounter revolves around tasting as a form of relation, capable of materialising a connection between human and plant beings, and of nurturing forms of queer kinship and healing.
Simultaneously it entails a process of assimilation and integration, where consumption becomes the currency that governs perception—resonating with the colonial power relations that manage the porosity of national borders.
