Her east Balmain garden is a reflection of her continued exploration into the aesthetics of care and the interconnectedness of all things. This conversation with Janet will explore care and connectedness, the lessons she’s learned from plants and nature, and the relationship between art and activism. …

“I have been personally been immensely inspired by Janet Laurence,’ says Georgina. ‘Her focus on care and connection, and the importance of action and beauty in the face of fear and hopelessness has influenced the way I see and write about the more-than-human world. Janet is an incredible woman, and I can’t wait to facilitate the sharing of her story and ideas in this conversation.”
