Over the course of two days Mediamatic invites experts and creatives from various disciplines to discuss all things Japanese knotweed. During the event we will unpack the plant that so often is described as invasive. We will discuss the problems it causes and what could possibly be done to solve…
Experience the Japanese knotweed with your five senses in an intimate session of eating, smelling, feeling, and hearing the elements of the Japanese knotweed.
If you look closely at Japanese knotweed, you will notice the many beautiful colours it holds. Join the workshop with Lucie Havel to learn how to dye wool with Japanese knotweed to bring out the colours of the plant and fall in love with Japanese Knotweed just as the artist did.
