Eco-garden-Lab
at EdUHK
This project foregrounds gardens as vibrant ecological and aesthetic spaces of theory and praxis. Situated at the intersections of human and other-than-human, the scientific and the artistic, gardens are ideal sites for more-than-human relationship building and cross-disciplinary engagements. Oriented around an existing Eco-garden at EdUHK, Eco-garden-Lab aims to enhance urban community engagement and promote biodiversity and sustainability in Hong Kong.
This project draws on and highlights the crucial contribution of humanistic inquiries
to ecological thinking, opening up spaces for alternative modes of world-building.
Through a range of pedagogical and artistic activities within the broad purview of the interdisciplinary field of the Environmental Humanities, the project intends to raise possibilities for thinking through a diverse set of environmental issues.
