Curatorial statement

Based on the storyline of a plant that wants to travel the world, the project intends to reconsider how we produce and present art in a decentralised and collective manner and hybrid formats, paying attention not only to humans but also to the other creatures around. Browsing through the texts of its Preparatory Logbook, it starts its travel looking for possible curators and organisations to host it.
