How to Be Together /Intervention of Suzanne Husky in the Fabric area

Str. Lunei, Timișoara

b. 1975, Bazas, France

“The understory of my art is a visceral relation to land and continuous study of agriculture systems. After a year in China where the air was unbreathable, bok choy was grown on the smallest patches of land and amended with poo, waters were spoiled, and forests were being torn out to be planted in cities for ‘green city’ competitions; I went back to school for landscape horticulture studies. I became a gardener and plant consultant for a landscape designer in California where we have to navigate complex drought on top of soil, pollution, exposure issues. We had to work fast and make spectacular gardens (a little like in the art world !). I continuously used my art to research the history of landscape, ethnobotany, politics of weeds, ag.tech, land regeneration, permaculture and eco-spirituality. I make films, tapestries, ceramics and podcasts.”
