Lecture
An Evening on Roses
Goethe@LUX artist in residence Sonya Schönberger has been researching the impact of the Kenyan cut flowers industry. For this evening she will be joined by Australian artist Gabriella Hirst who has investigated a rose called "Atom Bomb Floribunda”, a rare garden rose which was cultivated and registered in 1953. In the presentation of their findings, both artists will discuss Britain’s most prized ornamental plant, while discussing the geopolitical background story of two specific types of roses.
For this evening, the two artists join together and will present their researches in lectures, each of them reflecting upon the rose in very different ways.
The conversation will be moderated by Maria Palacios Cruz, Deputy Director of LUX.
