What kinds of ecological imaginaries can a garden give rise to and foster? This publication brings together the artists, curators and ecologists who have collaborated with the garden of Villa Romana for the Testing Grounds programme (2023-ongoing). It is an assemblage of artistic reflections and perspectives that grew through and together with the collective experiences of inhabiting a garden in a phase of transformation.
Across their contributions, the artists brought together here share their reflections and perspectives on what it means to garden, to attune and to co-cultivate, how to ground belonging and solidarity across geographies.
This publication was produced on the occasion of the Testing Grounds programme at Villa Romana, 2023-24.
