Walking through the landscape, picking herbs together
Bernadová, Antonie ; Johnová, Martina (referee) ; Lungová, Barbora (advisor)
One goal of the work is to update herbalist practice for the current context of possible futures from a queer ecological perspective - to present a guide that can be read through the lens of inclusive prepperism. Furthermore, it strives to record and map the solidarity and community uses of herbs, mushrooms and woody plants in the author's social connections. The work is viewed in the context of collective care, resilience and its possibilities. Thematically, the work is straddled by the successive branching of intersectional contexts, an assemblage of media, memories and experiences. It is a compendium of recipes for working with herbs, mushrooms and woody plants collected among friends, supplemented by recipes from personal practice. The recipes are interwoven with stories, interviews, testimonials and experiences. The work is a multimedia c It takes the form of a digitized book. The text is complemented by original illustrations, audio content and video. To increase accessibility, the book will be freely available on the internet.
