Entwined: Plants and People, Narratives and Networks explores these kinds of questions by examining how the stories we tell about plants focus our attention on the intertwined nature of human-plant relationships. The project explores fundamental questions about the nature of relationships between humans and other occupants of the planet and argues that new narrative modes must be developed in order to respond ethically to the challenges of the 21st century. The project is also a call to place plants back where they belong: at the center of the public’s understanding of the contours of the world around us and of the entwined natures of our pasts, our presents, and our futures.

Participants in the project are Seed Box researcher Lauren LaFauci, (LiU), and affiliated researcher Tina Gianquitto (Colorado School of Mines).
