College for Creative Studies’ Woodward Lecture Series proudly presents a gallery tour and talk by Detroit artists Cyrah Dardas and Mother Cyborg. Seasons of Kinship, a new exhibition by Cyrah Dardas and Mother Cyborg, explores the temporality and flow of relations within our environment. While using natural materials grown by each artist, this exhibition explores the intertwining and understanding between humans and land. A dinner table honors the lost knowledge and hidden stories in plant life. Natural dyes and paints color tapestries and paintings that reflect the reciprocity and symbiotic practices our human and non-human kin can create in relation. As ecofeminists, the artists’ work shares radical ways of imagining a generative and loving way of being in a relationship with land.
