REGISTRATION OPENABOUT
This year’s festival exhibition will feature artworks by 14 Latvian and international artists exploring the theme of “plant intelligence.” Developed in collaboration with the Plants_Intelligence team from the SNSF-funded research project, the exhibition offers new perspectives on intelligence beyond humans and machines, reflecting on how plants learn, adapt, and communicate – while seeking new methods of knowledge generation and pathways for multispecies coexistence.
