Participants will learn about the Tools for a Warming Planet crowd-sourced collection on exhibition and will collaborate on new prototype ideas moving forward. This workshop is part of the exhibition Collaborative Ecosystems for a Sustainable World, presented by the Institut Ramon Llull in collaboration with the .NewArt { foundation;} and Hac Te.

Roots & Seeds XXI, Community Allelopathy

During our workshop we will be discussing the potential of future forms of allelopathy with participants. Local plants/seeds from a certified nursery will be given to each of them, as well as brining their own plants from home (or their photos, drawings, etc.) will be encouraged. With all this material, projections will be made (more or less viable or fantastic) about the influence of human culture in the creation of future plant communities.
