Join British photographer Siân Davey as she discusses her new publication 'The Garden' with writer Jennifer Higgie.
"Everyone has a place in our garden. I am the garden. Those who enter are the garden. Without distinction, without separation."
Beginning in 2020, the British photographer Siân Davey transformed her abandoned garden into a vibrant space, filled with wildflowers, birdsong and people.
Over three summers and in collaboration with her son Luke, Davey cultivated a botanical space rooted in love, joy and togetherness. When the flowers bloomed, they called in the community and photographed them. The resulting portraits became an expression of yearning, defiance, joy and interconnectedness.
To celebrate the V&A's recent acquisition of works by Siân Davey, and on the occasion of her new publication 'The Garden' (Trolley Books, April 2024), join us for a discussion about Davey's extensive career and stories behind the production of The Garden.
