Plants create the atmosphere we need to breathe and vastly outnumber us. Science fiction films and literature imagine what would happen if they took advantage of that. What if trees went after us, or Venus Flytraps developed a taste for humans? Join us for a thought experiment about plants as intelligent beings rather than mere scenery, and explore how science and fiction can work together to change the way we live on this planet.
This event is taking place for a hybrid audience in conjunction with Eden? Plants Between Science and Fiction, a multimedia exhibit about the role of plants in science fiction literature and film, at the UA Poetry Center and Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research from October to December 2022.
