A workshop to collect, draw and pass on knowledge, uses and legends of botanical secrets, inspired by the Mercedes Azpilicueta exhibition. Bestiary of Lengüitas. For everyone: from 0-99 years

Do we know “secrets” about local plants, which we perhaps also use in daily life?

With her search to find different ways of “being in the world”, the Argentine artist Mercedes Azpilicueta (La Plata 1981) draws on ancient, sometimes forgotten, knowledge. Her poetics refers to that of the ancient Wunderkammern and jealously reported customs, creating situations in which the link with flora and fauna is underlined.

You will need: a sheet of paper, drawing tools (perhaps natural?) And your personal knowledge.

Good fun!
