Bringing together ancient myths, cosmological thought, and indigenous traditions from the Amazon, this exhibition sheds new light on the age-old relationship between man and plants.

This online venture uses podcasts, films, texts, images, and audio to illustrate how fundamentally misunderstood the kingdom Plantae has been over centuries. —E.C.
