description This manifesto, written by an artist-botanist, offers an engaged reflection on the colonial legacy embedded in the ways plants are thought about, named, and classified. Through a personal and critical approach, the author challenges the ideological hierarchies that oppose “native” and “exotic” plants, linking them to broader patterns of social exclusion. Blending personal narrative, historical analysis, and ecological critique, the text invites readers to move beyond static visions of nature and to view plant migrations as natural, dynamic processes. Positioned at the crossroads between scientific essay and political manifesto, this piece calls for a deconstruction of traditional botanical paradigms in the era of the Anthropocene.
