Composting Colonialism: Towards the Radical Garden, a group exhibition opening at Mermaid Arts Centre this July running until October, curated by Elida Maiques and Anne Mullee.

What does it mean to decolonise the garden? Selected works by Irish, Spanish and British artists consider the effects and legacy of colonialism, horticulture and the garden as a status symbol, inviting the audience to explore radical post-colonial horticultural practice and histories.

Mon - Sat 11am - 4pm / 11am - 6pm on performance evenings.
