Join Tracy Qiu as she explores the complex stories unearthed from botanical renderings and colonial plant collection during her doctoral research at the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew and Edinburgh. Taking participants on a journey through global histories of art and science, Tracy's research considers how our current understandings of botanical art are actually co-produced across dividing lines of gender, class, race, and ethnicity.
Horticulturist and lecturer Tracy Qiu discusses botanical illustration from her perspective as a researcher, focused on how botanical gardens acknowledge and deconstruct their roles in the history of colonization in her talk, “Art or Science? The Co-Construction of Botanical Illustration”.
