Opening May 2022 and on view through March 2023, the Sachs Museum at the Missouri Botanical Garden will host Botanical Resonance: Plants and Sounds in the Garden, exploring how plants create and cause sounds in our natural environment and cultural arenas. The exhibition will feature different plants used to create musical instruments in cultures around the world, as well as how different plants make unique sounds throughout their lifecycles in nature and in the Garden. For the species used to make instruments, many have become jeopardized and threatened in their native environments due to the increasing production and demand for the desirable plant material. Botanical Resonance includes three contemporary artists who have been commissioned to create artwork installations that interpret sound in their artworks in several different ways: soundwalks by Annika Kappner, an immersive quilt installation by Brooke Erin Goldstein, and an immersive sound installation by St. Louis artist Kevin Harris.
