V–A–C Sreda online magazine continues its three-month series of podcasts dedicated to earth and its variety of meanings, associations, and interpretations in culture, art, folklore, and science.
In this episode, we talk about the herbarium. What kind of memory do dried plants preserve? Is it possible to read the forest? What does a naturalist spy do and where does the most poetic Russian tree grow?
V–A–C Sreda editor Maxim Shibaev discussed these and other questions with Nadezhda Pontiulina, a museum designer and author of “Herbatim” project; Oksana Moroz, a researcher of digital memory; and Dmitry Sokolov, Doctor of Biological Sciences and specialist in the field of evolutionary morphology.
