GardenShip and State is an artistic research project conceived at the intersection of environmental critique, decolonial theory, and artistic practice. The project examines urgent issues confronting us today: climate change and global warming and the measures states and non-state actors can, or should, take to resolve them. These challenges are of global concern because local actions and global effects are intertwined, as evidenced by the destructiveness of the environmental crisis on humans and other than humans experiencing the effects of colonialism.
