Afield - H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship Exhibition

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Afield Exhibition by Laure Nolte, recipient of the 2024-2025 H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship at ��⴫ý

With the support of the H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship, Afield presents an ongoing body of research into plant-based material cultures in Japan, Europe and North America. From kombu and silver grass in the mountains of Kyoto to bananas in Tenerife and tall grass prairie gama grass in Iowa, the plants in this exhibition weave material intelligence and traditional knowledge through the environmental and social networks that sustain them.

Fieldwork, photographs, and physical models are exhibited alongside in-process design work inspired by the people and places encountered throughout the fellowship—reimagining how matter and meaning are cultivated and cycled through the built environment.

The exhibition will be open from September 14, 2026, to September 18, 2026, in the ��⴫ý Medjuck exhibition space. Doors are open from 9-5 each day. All are welcome.

Join Laure Nolte on Thursday, September 17 at 6 p.m. in the Medjuck exhibition space for a gallery talk about the research, work, and travels that inspired AFIELD.
