Sonia MesarovaZHdK Research Tours Routes of Roots: Folk knowledge breaking through pavement cracks Description:Embedded within the concrete infrastructure of the city, this tour will highlight places where art, folk knowledge and nature collide in Zurich’s urban context. Stumbling upon plants hidden between pavement cracks and encountering art in unsuspecting places, how can folk knowledge guide and inspire us in the city in our every day? Reflecting on the relevance of medicinal botanical knowledge, we will first explore the exhibition ‘Botanical memories’ brought together by We Are AIA and the University of Zurich in the New Botanical Garden. Followed by a visit to BELETAGE - hidden near the lake, up the stairs and on the fourth floor in a working chiropractic practice. Looking at the work of Dimitrina Sevova we elaborate on the relationship between arts, crafts and science. Collecting stories, knowledge and plants along the way, the tour concludes with an optional Monoprinting workshop at Lake Zurich, encouraging community and conversation.Meeting point: New Botanical Garden / Zollikerstrasse 85, 8008 Zürich (outside of Feinschleiferei Hans und Patrick Good)2 hours | EN BioSonia Mesarova is a curator and illustrator based in Zurich, currently enrolled in the MA Cultural Critique, Curatorial Studies programme at ZHdK.
