 =====Pollen Stories=====
 In the heart of Brussels, nuns in the 17th century cared for the hidden treasures of the Jericho Regularis convent. Sister Agatha, a trained herbalist and guardian of medicinal herb gardens, found solace among the fragrant leaves of the mint family. Whole days she meticulously brewed remedies starting from aromatic essence that she alchemically blended with handed-down wisdom. Bees, diligent with their pollination tasks, vibrated a delicate dance in the light of the orchards. Sister Agatha moved through the gardens with steady gait, gently leaving her mark on the carpet of descending pollen. Surrounded by the serenity of the monastery, she converted her herbal rituals. Her devotion carried an ancient wisdom that resonated with the challenges of the modern world. The bees, zealous guardians of pollination, wove stories of interconnectedness.

 Four centuries later, in the year 2083, Dr. A.M.Maes devotes herself to her research, exactly eight floors above the coordinates of the hallowed ground of the ancient monastery. The scent of mint floats through the air in the Hortus Experimentalis where Dr. A.M.Maes has set up her field laboratory. The hum of robotic pollinators hovering above the experimental garden is pervasive. Dr. Maes – palynologist – delves into the details of her observations. The result of her pollen analysis depends on the accuracy with which she takes the soil samples. The microscopic time capsules, relics from the era of Sister Agatha, contain stories of herbal alchemy and the dance of the bees. Decoding the mint family’s medicinal legacy still results in tales of healing and resilience. In the latter days of her career, Dr. A.M.Maes strolls through the rooftop garden. The scent of mint takes her back to the days of Sister Agatha and to the mysterious wisdom of medicinal herbs. As the sun dips below the horizon, Dr. A.M.Maes muses on the continuum of life so purely encoded in the pollen grains. The palynologist’s musings extend beyond the boundaries of time. She sees herself as a preserver, like Sister Agatha, safeguarding the delicate dance of pollination for as yet unborn generations. The essence of the mint family lingers, a testament to the enduring nature of the cycles of life. The rooftop laboratory, hovering between past and future, whispers stories of resilience and hope, encoded in the pollen that links centuries and civilizations.

+=====Pollinaria: proposal voor installatie en publiekswerking=====
+Voorstel voor de installatie van de //Pollinaria// op de locatie Steede Hoge Woerd, en voorstel Publiekswerking.
+{{ :pollination:installatie:pollinaria_proposal.pdf |}}
+__Tim Joye (January 2024)__: //"Ik denk dat het sterk is dat de pollen zowel op natuurlijke als menselijke ondergrond/oksels hangen. Wat in het echt ook zo is.
+En dat sommige clusters midschien prachtig contrasteren op pakweg beton of een muur. Ik denk dan bv aan de sterk grafische foto’s die de bezoekers willen maken, en dat andere clusters bijvoorbeeld verborgen zitten in de struiken of planten zoals Annemarie zegt.
+Fijn is ook dat Annemarie haar pollen beschrijft als mini tijdscapsules die reizen door de tijd. Als beschermers van natuurlijk erfgoed. In de educatieve lijn kan het brugje gemaakt worden naar de conservatie zadenbasis van svalbard in spitsbergen. Als plantensoorten met massas uitsterven is het mooi deze als ook als natuurlijk erfgoed te zien wat een mooie aanvulling is in het programma.
+Dit past ook in Sven Duprés onderzoek rond natuur, kunst en erfgoed, en kan eventueel door hem in een lezing worden geschakeld."//
