Welto and the Sacred Bush: Learning from Caribbean Gardens

At a time of ecological collapse—when soils are poisoned, biodiversity disappears, and dominant systems fail—the knowledge held in Caribbean gardens offers more than cultural memory. These layered, compact ecosystems cultivate edible, medicinal, and ceremonial plants in close proximity. They are dense with intelligence, care, and ancestral memory—living blueprints for regeneration.

Welto and the Sacred Bush brings this knowledge into conversation with contemporary artistic practices. Across sound, soil, story, textile, and living matter, works by artists from the Caribbean and its diasporas explore the sacredness of the bush, the quiet intelligence of plants, and the relational futures rooted in Caribbean gardens—once systems of survival, now models for repair.
