CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Join sensory artist Jan Uprichard and botanist Manos Bazanis on a walk around Victoria and find out the answers to questions like:
• Are those oranges edible?
• Which tree has that smell?
• What is the name of that plant everyone has on their balcony?
• What is that tree with the strange looking seed pods?
• Do any of the trees or plants in the city have medicinal qualities, or should we just be happy that they clean up the air we breathe?
• Are the trees and plants that grow here native to Greece?
• What would happen to all the vegetation if the council stopped caring for it?
• Do trees in the city look after each other in the same way that trees in a forest do?
You will also get a chance to chat to Catriona Gallagher, part of the team behind the Athina Garden City project.
The walk will start at Victoria Square Project Space at 3pm on Sunday 17th December. After the walk Jan will share some experimental cookery and balms made with the addition of some Athenian fruit, flowers and herbs back at Victoria Square Project.
