Reflecting on the relationship between humans and plants, this exhibition explores different narratives of technological mediation of the plant kingdom. The study of plants as infrastructure has raised interest among the scientific community over the last centuries, inspiring generations of researchers, as well as the development of technocosmologies and cybernetic systems. Deeply influenced by the knowledge of sacred plants, generations of technoutopians in California have been debating the sentience of plants, manifesting great curiosity for their expanded cognition, leading up to the emergence of areas such as biomimicry. On the other hand, the subalternization of plants by the food industry and geoengineering has created genetic divergences that affect their fertility, generating a condition of militarized and unequal domination. In response, resilient communities drawn from indigenous philosophies and agroecological thought have emerged worldwide, generating spaces of resistance and equitable cohabitation.

Plant Revolution! reflects on this interspecies encounter, posing the question what will happen when we blur the frontiers between the parasite and the host? Drawing from the continuity between beings and the environment, this exhibition includes works that explore forms of political recuperation, stimulating an emancipatory imagination and new vocabularies to think about the planet, beyond the partition of the natural world.
