Festival of Ideas: Gardens, Botany and Histories of (De)Colonialism

Taking the Royal Pavilion and Garden as their starting point, Rob Boyle, Head Gardener at Royal Pavilion Garden, and Prof. Vinita Damodaran, Director of the Centre for World Environmental History at University of Sussex, explore the remarkable relationships between botany and colonialism. 

An informal and engaging combination of talks and garden tour, chaired by Curator of the Royal Pavilion Dr Alexandra Loske.

A collaboration with the University of Sussex, the Festival of Ideas harnesses the transformative power of the arts and humanities to fashion new ways of thinking about the past, present and future.

Organised by University of Sussex and Brighton & Hove Museums.
