Christalena presents past and current projects that have used plant pigments and hand stitching as material for art production and the conceptual nature of human affect on plant ecologies. In June, the artist is staying at Residency B28 in Suomenlinna, where she is working with the island gardener to learn specifics of the local ecologies.
During the event, Christalena talks about plant foraging in Iceland and serve tea made out of local dandelion plants for event attendees.
Admission is free. Warmly welcome!
