TEMPORARY HERBARIA LIBRARY (RHIZOME STATE)

Herbaria created from a community workshop connected to a gallery exhibition as an interactive, public, temporary Herbaria Library installation. The workshop involves collecting, pressing, mounting and identifying plants into books. The temporary library is then available to the public to read and explore the communities' knowledge of plants after the workshop until the end of the exhibition. The diversity of the community can be found within each 8x5" (hxl) herbarium with plant idetification, poetry and other words written in Spanish, Nepalese, or English. The first Herbaria Library was created at Wave Pool Gallery in 2017.
