Andare con le radici was a workshop in which participants imagined themselves to be plants to learn new strategies of living on our planet.

The workshop Andare con le radici (Going with the roots) by Wurmkos was inspired by the idea that studying plants could be a way of learning new strategies for survival, as they have inhabited planet Earth for much longer than human beings. Participants were invited to co-design and wear costumes and dresses inspired by drawings of plants and trees. This process of dressing up and transforming into plants and trees extends the imagination and is a way towards learning new strategies of living on our planet.

Wurmkos (IT) is a laboratory of visual arts founded by Pasquale Campanella in 1987 at Sesto San Giovanni (Milan). It links art and those who live with psychological distress without any attempt at salvation.
