Having just returned from two months in the Amazon researching indigenous cultures in relation to the vegetal kingdom, I plan to extend this in a comparative study of Sami culture in Finland – the indigenous people of Lapland – as well as contemporary artistic practices concerning the logic and being of plants. — Gina Buenfeld
