Cross-Pollinations is an exhibition, public programme and digital heritage project established by a collaboration between Studio Imaginalis (Richard Weaver and Marta Pagliuca Pelacani), the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam, and VOX-POP.
Cross-Pollinations takes its inspiration from the multi-directional encounters and questions arising from the Petunia collection of Science Park. Through ‘archival imagination’, we seek to explode the collection beyond its scientific constraints, animating its archival matter so that it may live on in our imaginaries.
*archival imagination is a tem coined by Prof. Gil Hochberg, for details see Becoming Palestine: Archival Imaginations for the Future (Duke University Press, 2022).
