  • The Planty Atlas of UTS
    The Planty Atlas of UTS UTS Library 2019 Creative in Residence - Alexandra Crosby and Ilaria Vanni, from the research studio Mapping Edges. We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, upon whose lands we stand and walk. We pay respect to the Elders past, present, and future, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands. The Planty Atlas of UTS 03 The Planty Atlas of UTS installation, UTS Library (Haymarket), September—November 2019. The Planty Atlas of UTS 04 The Planty Atlas of UTS If you went to the UTS Library in Haymarket between September and November 2019, chances are you walked into a small green oasis of plants and books about plants at the bottom of the stairwell. This green space was part of the UTS Library Creative in Residence program and it was titled The Planty Atlas of UTS. The installation travelled with the library when it relocated to UTS Central, where it created another green area for people to stop, sit in the company of plants, and browse the planty bookshelf we curated from the UTS collection. Selected from various disciplines, from ecology to photography to health sciences to history, the bookshelf offered ways to think and learn about plants from multiple perspectives. In the same period, we organized a series of walks around the old and new UTS Libraries, and we mapped our route, so that you can continue to walk in your own time. This series of walks presents an opportunity to think about how plants shape the ways we look at, feel about, and imagine a place.
