This publication brings together conversations that took place in the summer of 2024 between Radical Ecology’s director Ashish Ghadiali, artist Yan Wang Preston and theorist Banu Subramaniam.
These discussions took the form of online public webinars, and are brought together here with stills from the source material of Ashish’s 4-channel video installation, Invasion Ecology, which was first presented around the same time on Dartmoor at Southcombe Barn, Widecombe-in-the-Moor, as part of the group exhibition, also called Invasion Ecology.
It was curated by Vashti Cassinelli and Jelena Sofronijevic and featured work by Ingrid Pollard, Hanna Tuulikki, Iman Datoo, Fern Leigh Albert and Ashanti Hare as well as Ashish. The conversations, like the works, reflect a collective fascination with the language of native and invasive species that has become so ubiquitous as a way of describing what is happening in our gardens — and far beyond.
