The film program “Plants as a Site of Knowledge” collects stories about the relationship between plants and memory: observations on how socio-political and economic interdependencies influence the history of ecosystems. What kind of memory do plants carry with them? To what extent are they part of cultural memory? Can time be turned back in ecosystems and if so, what (political) implications does this have? The films shown in this compilation deal with plants that are separated from their environment in the service of colonial representation or economic interests in order to circulate or be cultivated elsewhere.
