Sarasvati Shrestha

Sarasvati Shrestha is an artist and horticulturist working at the intersection between art, design and horticulture. Through intermedial works, gardens and farm work, sculptures, installations, education, social and performative practices, the work is often driven by issues around value systems, food, circularity, access to land and health. Through cultivation and primary production of vegetables, she has expanded her work to collaborate with social movements, artists, activists, farmers, friends and family, by raising questions around working conditions, ownership, geopolitical conflicts and accountability. Guided by queer ecologies and strategies that resist colonial and binary logics, her work centers around tracing routes to nurture a societal transition towards food sovereignty, agroecology and solidarity.
