SUMMARY:Weeds and their Metaphors: Understanding Non-Normative Plants in a 
 Social Context
DESCRIPTION:A weed is only a weed because someone decided it doesn't belong
 . In the same way\, identity and social categories are often shaped by arb
 itrary definitions.\n\nUsing weeds as a lens for queer identity\, Barney P
 au explores resistance\, classification\, and the overlap between culture\
 , ecology\, and selfhood.\n\nThrough research into botanical naming system
 s\, colonial histories\, and MAP's ongoing exhibition\, Paper Gardens: Art
 \, Botany and Empire\, we'll unpack how ideas of belonging are constructed
 \, inherited and challenged.\n\nThis programme is part of MAP's monthly se
 ries of research-focused talks\, A Closer Look\, and in collaboration with
  Bar Cameo.
