Abstract

This paper presents three art-based or art-related research projects—ClimArt, Embassy of Nature/Overgrowth, and PLAURCI. These projects, implemented in Germany, Poland, and Turkey, critically examine the role of urban plants through interdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating scientific inquiry and artistic expression, these initiatives enrich the discourse on urban climate adaptation and reimagine the future of green cities. The study of human—plant interactions in urban environments has gained prominence in the social sciences, drawing on multispecies ethnography, environmental history, and plant studies. Despite increasing scholarly challenges to anthropocentric perspectives, the phenomenon of ‘plant blindness’ continues to marginalize urban flora, shaping public attitudes that oscillate between preservation and eradication. In response, artists and scholars collaborate with nature, integrating living elements into their practice to challenge conventional perceptions and cultivate environmental awareness.
