Summary:

"A Garden of Promise and Dissent considers future gardens as embodiments for imagination and rebellion. Spanning the Museum's galleries and grounds, the exhibition features twenty-one multigenerational artists who explore the animation of the garden as a site of poetics and praxis. Traditionally symbols of beauty and contemplation, gardens also serve as stages for environmental stewardship, collective engagement, and defiance." -- Page 8.
