Paper, Plants, and Identity with May Babcock

May Babcock's artwork uses foraged plant fibers for papermaking to engage with both the materiality of place and discovery of multiracial identity. In this talk reviewing her artistic practice in papermaking, she takes deep dive into how we collectively talk about plants from other places and her work towards an ecocentric way of thinking about problematic plants, humans, and nature. This event was recorded live on April 27th, 2023.
