DESCRIPTION:The finale of the Plants and Creative Practice online event s
 eries\n\nIn this final event of the Plants and Creative Practice webinar
  series\, cultural geographer Arianna Tozzi (UoM\, Hallsworth Research F
 ellow Geography) and artist Rowland Ricketts (IU\, Eskenazi) will consid
 er different ways of engaging with plant-based materials\, processes and
  histories in textile arts. Tozzi’s current project examines the history
  of cotton monocultures in central India and involves partnerships with 
 women-led agroecology groups. Ricketts’ artistic practice involves utili
 zing natural dyes and historical processes to create contemporary textil
 es that span art and design.\n\nAbout the series: What do plants have to
  do with creative work? How can creativity evolve through engagement wit
 h plantlife? Does partnering with plants change our understanding of ‘cr
 eativity’ or reframe creative methods and processes? This webinar series
  from Indiana University’s Environmental Futures in the Arts and Humanit
 ies Initiative and the University of Manchester’s Creative Manchester re
 search platform explores Plants and Creative Practice through three dial
 ogues between researchers\, writers and artists based at these two unive
 rsities. Each session pairs creative/research practitioners in focused c
 onversations on how plant life shapes creative work across Poetry\, Soun
 d\, and Textile Arts to reflect upon how vegetal thinking can shape arti
 stic practice today.\n\n\n\nThis event is only open to staff and student
 s from University of Manchester\, or Indiana University Bloomington\n\n\
