Synopsis

Reflecting Oak’s ongoing research into ecology, migration and the Caribbean, the screening focuses on the botanical garden as a form of living archive. Oak invites critical conversation around Britain’s imperial institutions, drawing on material connected to Kew Gardens. The screening considers the mediation of monuments and archives and how their colonial logics might be disrupted through contemporary intervention.
