Community garden of the Academy
artist-researcher Eline De Clercq started the ‘community garden’ to restore the ecology of the historical garden of the Academy and to think together about art and nature.
read onThe research project 'Making Sense' is a continuation of the one-year project 'The sympoiesis garden, ecology and art in a participative garden', in which Eline De Clercq, together with students, laid out a 'community garden' in the historic Academy garden, with a responsible botanical selection that corresponds to the local ecology and the typical characteristics of the Academy and its students. Developments are posted online via a logbook designed for this purpose and on Instagram. In this way, a new ecofeminist artistic vision can be developed from the sympoiesis garden, the co-creation of a botanical workplace for visual art and ecology.
