Yvanna Greene - The Bee and the Plant

Pollinators are at risk. Bumblebees are in danger. Food security is under threat. 

The Bee and the Plant is a performance-lecture devised by artist Yvanna Greene
that tells the tale of a unique symbiotic relationship between Bombus purpura, a new species of bumblebee, and Rhododendron Ponticum, the popular but invasive
ornamental shrub that proliferates around Ireland. 

This is a story of rapid evolution leading to a future that is sure to satisfy all interested parties and guarantee tomatoes on supermarket shelves in each and every season.

This event is part of the exhibition programme for Composting Colonialism - Towards the Radical Garden (26 July - 4 October).
