Our premise is that after the events of "The Tempest," King Alonso dies suddenly.

A family of furry, snorkel-nosed aliens arrive on Earth looking for a new home, only to find a foggy wilderness filled with sociopathic poachers, a rock band on vacation, and a very special boy looking for a new best friend instead!

Modern writings often describe Chinese scholars’ gardens as sites of aesthetic reclusion—spaces filled with architecture, waterways, and rockeries intended to facilitate the garden-owner’s retreat from the mundane world. Plants rarely appear in such accounts, except as culturally sanctioned signifiers of the garden-owner’s character or virtue. A look at paintings and books that depict gardens from the Song to Qing dynasties offers a different view: plants were central to these gardens, for practical purposes and for contemplating humanity’s place within the cosmos. This talk will explore these themes through a discussion of the exhibition Growing and Knowing in the Gardens of China, displayed at The Huntington in fall 2024.
