Echo-system is an acoustic performance by Julia Tcharfas. The event is based in the Wayward Plants’ Urban Garden in the Everyday Discoveries exhibition. In case of poor weather the talk will take place inside the exhibition’s shipping container adjacent to the garden.

Echo-system invites visitors to the Plant Tram Garden for scientific tales of plants, people, and space travel. Set as a multi-media presentation, the live audio drama consists of a constellation of scenarios that attempt to model new worlds. Join in for a discussion on the futures of our past, and our communal technological folklore.
