Headlands Center for the Arts

While at Headlands, we will immerse ourselves in the natural environment, approaching it not as backdrop but as a landscape shaped by hegemonic forces. Focusing on non-native flora in the Marin Headlands—highly flammable French broom, soil-choking ice plant, and tree-smothering English ivy—we examine how environments are not only formed, but scripted. We use speculative storytelling to trace the histories of these botanical “outsiders” in our daily practice. Imagining alternative futures that unsettle dominant narratives and reconsider relationships between land, migration, and fire.

Project Space is on the third floor of Building 944 and is currently accessible only by stairs.
