Second-year Creative Writing students from the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies take a novel approach to discovering their emerging voice as writers with research blending plant metaphors and plant science.
The Plant Intelligence Project showcases their works-in-progress, connecting literary and scientific ways of looking at plants. Their assignment includes using living plants, non-humanities research, text, art objects, experiments exploring art and science, and integrating references of n'syilxcen, the Okanagan language.
The Plant Intelligence Project is presented in collaboration with the Eco-Art Incubator and with Prof. Susan Murch, Canada Research Chair in Natural Products Chemistry.
This is a Celebrate Research Week event.
