The Garden of Resilience is a garden composed of various species of plants, many of them “weeds”, with offensive, misogynist, racist and anti-Semitic names. Resilient and resistant, these species challenge the colonialist imagination present in the process of classification and domination of nature, in confrontation with nomenclature that anthropomorphizes human characteristics, gender binarism, and prejudices.
In all places where Botannica Tirannica is implemented, the Garden of Resilience incorporates local flora plants with prejudiced names that reveal a certain geography of the racist imagination. Below, images of the Gardens, both indoor and outdoor, in São Paulo, Taubaté, Trieste, and Toronto.
