Ann Shelton: I Am an Old Phenomenon

MEA

The exhibition “I Am an Old Phenomenon” by Ann Shelton at the Maison de l’enfance et de l’adolescence delves into the traditional beliefs and knowledge surrounding the medicinal, magical, and spiritual uses of plants. Collaborating with the Fondation Convergences, the artist pays tribute to wise women, herbalists, and witches by revisiting knowledge marginalized by Christianity and capitalism. Through photographs of still lifes inspired by Ikebana, Shelton encourages us to rethink our connection to nature and reconnect with ancient wisdom in the face of environmental urgency.
