*Residency with artist Margherita Pevere*

“In times of surging ecological crisis, how can we shift our 
perspective, embrace ethical complexity, and foster 
attunement to botanical entities that inhabit one’s biotope?”

During a *week-long residency in a garden in Treviso*, 
artist Margherita Pevere will collaborate with various 
*Roots & Seeds XXI partners* and guests working in the 
fields of art, botany and transdisciplinary research through 
walks, daily rituals, and conversations. Her research will 
focus on the *local flora* as a point of departure to 
reflect on biodiversity, environmental death and 
anthropogenic ecological changes.

The residency is part of the artist’s wider research 
project, */Unframing Death, /*an investigation into /death/ 
from *more-than-human* and *queer* perspectives and an 
invitation to *reflect on the process of dying as a creative 
one*, responding to the urgency of art in times of 
environmental disruption and the ecological effects of human 
action.

The residency will culminate in two Dissemination Events 
within *Roots & Seeds XXI*, taking place in Bologna in the 
framework of the Festival Resilienze and a Garden 
Cartography in Treviso (event already sold out).

*Margherita Pevere*is an internationally acknowledged artist 
and researcher whose practice glides across biological arts 
and performance with a distinctive visceral signature. Her 
transdisciplinary inquiry hybridizes biolab practice, 
biotechnology, ecology, environmental politics, gender and 
death studies, with a healthy dose of hacking attitude to 
create arresting installations and performances that hunt 
today’s surging ecological complexity.
