The “named after Men\u201d project is a critique of patriarchy and colonialism in the botanical sciences. It consists of a database of 1026 plants that were named after male botanists. The website<\/a> works as a framework to tell plant stories, which has been exemplified by the artist in an article published on the online magazine Futuress.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The cross-stitch composition “homage to the unnamed” (2022, Textile and embroidery – 34 x 49 cm) was part of the installation \u201cBlacknuss – technologies of joy, care and intimacy\u201d, by Luiza Prado and Obaro Ejimiwe at Kampnagel (Hamburg, Germany). It pays homage to four plants (Bertholletia excelsa, Carapa wohllebenii, Ficus erecta<\/em> and Haemanthus deformis<\/em>) that received names that honor white men, some of them directly connected to colonialism.<\/p>\n\n\n

The six-piece “herbarium series” reflects on fuzziness and incompleteness as properties of botanical databases. Pixelation and natural dyed yarns immediately disturb the value of an image made to support taxonomic classification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
