This event forms part of Arts Catalyt’s Recentring Attention programme.

What do we mean by reproductive rights and reproductive (in)justice? Why and how has knowledge around reproductive health changed through different points in history and across different geographies? Join this workshop to collectively explore issues around reproduction from social, ecological and historical perspectives.

A performative evening of discussion with: Luiza Prado, Edna Bonhomme, Rebecca Beinart, Tereza Silon and others, accompanied by shared food made with medicinal plants.

Join Rebecca Beinart for a drop-in workshop to sift through images and get intimate with the Elephant's Foot Yam. We will make drawings of the plant from dried samples, herbarium copies and a rich array of archival material. Whilst we draw we will piece together the story of the wild yam, indigenous uses and knowledge, colonial plant-hunting and taxonomy, its use in pharmaceutical drug manufacture, and issues around contemporary conservation.
