What can weeds tell us about our perspective on the values of plants and people? Join Angelica Bajos, Community and Sustainability Coordinator of the MSU Beal Botanical Garden and Campus Arboretum, for a botanical deep dive into Esmaa Mohamoud’s exhibition COMPLEX DREAMS. Registration for this free event is encouraged.  

Want more? Be sure to sign up for our free Black Botany: Weeds Workshop, also happening on this day!  

This event is offered as part of the Deep-Rooted collaboration with the MSU Beal Botanical Garden, where art and plants intertwine in a conversation about the extraordinary ways our natural world has influenced art and human societies throughout history. On view from September 14, 2024–February 16, 2025, the inaugural Signature Commission Series exhibition COMPLEX DREAMS places the experiences of young Black girlhood center stage while forwarding a refreshing and resilient perspective on the power of Black women today.
