Duty of Care
Morwenna Schenck’s Duty of Care 2021–22 is an interactive pop-up propagation station – an intimate encounter with local ecologies through a moment of reciprocity.
The public was invited to engage in short acts of conservation through propagation of flora species from the local urban ecosystem. The chosen species require human intervention for successful propagation with participants replicating ecological processes ordinarily performed in nature through symbiotic relationships and environmental factors. Duty of Care created a new relationship of mutualism between the public and their local urban ecology.
Test Sites Phase 2 was co-produced by City of Melbourne and Testing Grounds and curated by Arie Rain-Glorie. The resulting projects were presented as part of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art’s Who’s Afraid of Public Space? program.
