The Lavender Menace volunteer’s twist on the traditional “staff picks” format.\n\n\n\nEphemeral connections: Collaged objects and notes found in donated books\, providing insight into the books’ own travels. \n\n\n\nSearching for Wilde Lavender: A collection tracing the history of the archive. This is the story of Lavender Menace and West & Wilde. \n\n\n\n\nOpening times\n\n\n\nThe exhibition will be open during the regular archive opening hours: \n\n\n\n\nTuesdays and Thursdays (11am-4pm)\n\n\n\n\n\nSocial Sundays (8th and 22nd September\, 2pm-4pm). \n\n\n\n\nIt is free to attend and you don’t need to book. \n\n\n\nVenue & AccessibilityThe exhibition is located at the archive in Edinburgh Palette.

SUMMARY:Social Sunday at the Botanics
DESCRIPTION:Queer liberation and the natural world are two themes that aren’t often thought of as related or connected. We’re going to read and respond to some works that explore these themes. You are welcome to come along and listen or to bring an extract of your own to read out.A short list of questions to spark ideas: \n\n\n\n\nIs liberation natural/unnatural?\n\n\n\nIs feminism dependent on technological advancement?\n\n\n\nHow does climate activism intersect with gender activism?\n\n\n\nWhere is nature around you? Where are you touching nature in your life?\n\n\n\n\nConcepts considered in preliminary research include but are not limited to \n\n\n\n\nForaging\n\n\n\nPlant blindness\n\n\n\nCommodity fetishism\n\n\n\nIsolationism/connectedness\n\n\n\n\nThis event is activated in collaboration with Mas Arte Mas Accion\, a Colombian artists collective. Other activations include talks on transecologies\, reading circles\, chocolate tastings\, and a conversation with the Colombian ambassador to the United Kingdom. The final outcome of multiple Around the Tree installations (including this one) will travel to the UN’s COP16 Biodiversity Conference in Colombia (Cali\, 2024) and COP30 Climate Change Conference in Brazil\, 2025. \n\n\n\nBookingNo need to book – entry is free and the event is open to the public. \n\n\n\nVenue & AccessibilityThis event is held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh\, Edinburgh\, EH3 5NZ.
