• ARTH 207 Cultivating the Future: “Growing” Together 6 credits

  Artists have long explored the dual themes of plant cultivation and knowledge cultivation. What explains this connection between horticulture and pedagogy in art? This course examines these interconnections, beginning with early modernist art circles and following their influence on developments like Black Mountain College and Joseph Beuys's Free International University. We then explore contemporary artists who employ permaculture gardens, traditional ecological knowledge, ecofeminist principles, guerrilla plantings, and foraging as tools to foster new social, political, and spiritual understandings. Through these practices, artists cultivate not just plants but future-oriented ways of knowing and being in the world.
