Uncultivated is a site-specific, scalable art project focused on wild plants within urban landscapes. The project draws attention to plant species that are typically rejected as weeds but which are able to thrive in the harsh conditions we have created in cities and are increasingly found around the world. Each photograph has a corresponding webpage containing detailed information on all the plants appearing in them, the location, and the date it was taken. Public displays show images taken in the vicinity of the display venue and workshops are hosted in collaboration with the local communities in which the project is realized.
