In September 2022, Eline De Clercq started a community garden for and by students and artists at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. ‘The Sympoiesis Garden’ is a three-year artistic research project on art and ecology and functions as a non-formal learning environment about climate change, gender norms, decolonisation and intersectionalism.

The publication is conceived as a map of the garden, with patches of words and a path for the reader to follow. It is a string figure with more-than-human gardeners, because one can't make a garden alone. The poster tells about the research inspired by Donna Haraway, Anna Tsing, Jamaica Kincaid, Ursula Le Guin and many others. The artistic approach to gardening focuses on how we can use our skills to make a difference within this troubled present: looking at climate breakdown and acting on response-ability.

The poster is published by Track Report and printed by Stockmans Art Books.
