For the next installment of These Seasons, SI is pleased to present Reveries of Collective Walkers, a guided neighborhood walk and collective reading performance led by artist Uriel Orlow, in collaboration with designer and gardener Simone Frazier. This program emerges from Orlow’s Welcome Weeds project (2024-ongoing), which was commissioned on the occasion of Spora.
The event will begin with an ambulatory tour of the East Village with Frazier, which identifies plant species in public space and their varied medicinal, culinary, and mystical associations. The event will conclude in a local community garden with participants individually reading selected texts, which feature botanical species as protagonists, to plants.
These Seasons is an ongoing transdisciplinary public program that invites artists, scholars and writers to explore theories of nature, landscape, ecology, human and non-human life forms and climate action.
