What lessons can we learn from plants and their medicinal powers? Artist Uriel Orlow (Lisbon/London/Zürich) and curator Andrea Thal (CiC Cairo) prepared a mission for the participants of the masterclass that led them to share in small groups (in the so-called breakout rooms) their intimate experiences with plants, which resulted in a series of drawings, photographs and narratives. To introduce this activity and partial live broadcast Orlow and Thal began the session by drawing on the artistic strategies linked to Orlow's recent works Learning from Artemisia and Imbizo Ka Mafavuke. The session began and ended with a concert by João Orecchia live from his apartment in Johannesburg.
