Join artist Diana Scherer and botanical philosopher Norbert Peeters as they delve into the intriguing world of plant intelligence at the upcoming event "Lezingen Diana Scherer en Norbert Peeters." Taking place on January 28, 2024, at the Museum Kranenburgh in Bergen, this event will explore the ways in which we can collaborate with plants, guide their growth, and even influence their behavior. Both speakers will offer their unique perspectives on the subject, discussing the remarkable abilities of plants to communicate and cooperate with one another. Diana Scherer, an acclaimed artist from Germany, will showcase her captivating plant root weavings created through a unique process at the ongoing "Farming Textiles" exhibition at Kranenburgh. Her work has garnered rave reviews from publications such as NRC, Volkskrant, Trouw, Parool, and Noord-Hollands Dagblad. Janna Reinsma of Volkskrant describes Scherer's work as "magical," highlighting the intricate patterns she coaxes the roots into, though they always maintain an element of improvisation. Norbert Peeters, a Dutch botanical philosopher and lecturer at the University of Leiden, will offer insights into the fascinating world of plants.

Norbert Peeters will then take the stage, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
