Stephanie Doddridge: Tools for Quiet Activism

Tools for Quiet Activism explores grassroots ecological restoration, drawing inspiration from the work of scientist-led organisation Bio.R in regenerating heavily cleared native habitats. Through small, repeated acts of repair on degraded land, a form of ‘quiet activism’ emerges.

When

Museum of Economic Botany, Adelaide Botanic Gardens

25 July to 29 January 2027

Access

Artist Stephanie Doddridge embodies this gentle resistance in her 'toolkit' for ecological restoration. Seed orchard plans, stitched plant identification lists, and poetic tools crafted from experimental bioplastics embedded with native seeds, become metaphors for the process of regeneration.
