Botanical Drift presents four installations by the Danish artist Ebbe Stub Wittrup, recalling Indian colonial history. With the exhibition, Stub Wittrup traces the Danish botanist Nathanial Wallich, who was posted to the Danish colony Serampore in India in 1807. The exhibition tells of a time when Western nations considered it fully justifiable to subjugate and colonialise the rest of the world. In a mutual dialogue, the works disclose various narratives about, for example, overwriting national traditions, plant species finding their way from India to botanical gardens in England, and arch-English brands now owned by Indian enterprises.
