Plants have always moved between land masses with human aid.
European colonialism accelerated this, and its legacy can be seen
in landscapes across the world and the twin crises of climate
change and biodiversity loss. In in this companion book to the
exhibition, Shipping
Roots, Keg de Souza creates a narrative
around plant species relating to her own cultural removal, drawing
from her experiences as a person whose ancestral lands were
colonised. The exhibition explores how plants moved over
oceans and lands, transported in the hulls of ships, all part of
the colonial legacies of the British Empire. Specifically, these
stories link Australia, India and the UK and shows us that the
entanglement of plants and people are tied to understanding place
and belonging. This book includes high quality photography of the
exhibition as well as essays and recipes by numerous contributors.
