This exhibition brings together a constellation of intergenerational artists from the South Asian diasporas of the UK, USA and Canada.

“Botany of Desire” explores how certain plants have evolved to gratify human desires - specifically for sweetness, beauty, intoxication, control and healing - and, in turn, how plant species have used man to meet their own benefit. Given that plants are immobile, they have learned to be the ultimate chemist in order to further their reproduction. The exhibition draws its inspiration from a book of the same title by Michael Pollan, which questions the idea that people are the sole drivers of domestication. Weaving threads from personal histories, the artists share critical representations of flora and vegetation intertwined with vulnerable human experiences.
