Roots en Route is a multi-sensory installation by four artists who will create a multi-sensory installation in dialogue with this special site, the Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden — examining rootedness and displacement; asking what grows where it was planted and what survives the crossing.
The African plants that fill these glasshouses carry their own histories of movement and adaptation.

Camille Norment in collaboration with Sofia Jernberg create a soundscape drawing on the birds of the plants' homelands.
Toubab Holmes' site-specific scent installation traces the hidden journeys of plants through the extractive system of perfumery. Charmaine Watkiss visits the botanical legacies and healing traditions of her Caribbean ancestry through large-scale drawings of Plant Warriors.
Together, the three works read the botanical garden as an archive of movement, and the plants in it as things that were carried, taken and made to travel.
