A Guided Tour of Trees

In this guided tour of the trees in the Palace Park, arborist John Coles invites us to observe trees as part of a shared community. Through cooperation and long-term care, they offer an alternative to competitive ways of living. As we move through a cultivated city landscape, we reflect on how our relationship differs from when we encounter it in "the wild", and what responsibilities come with living in collaboration with trees, wherever we find them.
The event will be held in Norwegian and/or English. We meet in the exhibition space. Limited spots!
