CARBON CATCHING LIBRARY was conceived as an invitation to investigate the knowledge of plants, plant-based carbon catching, propagation, and interspecies care. Plant, soil, and pollinator literacy are vital components in our path toward ecological and environmental harmony.
Plant, soil & pollinator literacy = pathway to ecological harmony.
At SQUARE, where the project was presented as part of the Unpacking Energy Transition (FluxKit Beta Tests) pop-up exhibition, visitors were encouraged to take instruction from the zines that form part of the Carbon Catching Library and to start growing both personal knowledge of plants and their own plant-based Carbon Catching Libraries at home, in the workplace, or in any public space available. Students were also invited to create their own zine-inspired installations through a workshop led by artist Soheila Esfahani. The students’ climate-action slogans (including ‘Humans in Nature, Nature in Humans’ and ‘Less is Bette…’) were then distributed throughout SQUARE’s many reflective surfaces.
