In 1987, a documentary-style talk show, bingenTV (1987),&nbsp;was produced about the society. It was aired publicly for the first time as part of an exhibition at Mimosa House (Oct 26-Dec 7 2023) and is now showing in Winnipeg, Canada at VideoPool’s Poolside Gallery (June 6-Aug 1 2025).****** Most recently, members of the society participated in a learning garhering in the ancient wetlands of Xochimilco, Mexico City, with the organisation Ruta del Castor, read more about the project here. ****** As part of our process of research and discovery, we gather monthly online.

The show immersed audiences in the world of the Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions through interviews, musical interludes, and a healthy dose of gossip. With a charismatic host and a cast of queer characters (past and present), bingenTV embarked on a whirlwind jaunt through space and time, following some of history’s most insightful minds on interspecies and environmental care, plants, and healing. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, the exhibition includes three episodes from the TV show, elements of the original set, and an archive room featuring materials gathered across multiple decades of research, showcasing hidden &amp; forgotten voices in queer history and beyond.

September 2024, 7.30pm, diffrakt | zentrum für theoretische peripherie&nbsp; Film Screening and ConversationSophie Seita |&nbsp;Naomi Woo(The Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions) bingenTV is a recent film by Sophie Seita and Naomi Woo that centres on three episodes of a fictional talk show, set in 1987. Playful, flirty, and delightfully weird, the talk show immerses audiences in the world of The Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions, a queer-feminist collective originally founded by the German mediaeval mystic and musician Hildegard von Bingen in the 12th century. The talk show’s charismatic host Gardenia interviews ‘members of the society’: a cast of queer characters real and fictional, past and present, in a whirlwind jaunt through space and time. Underneath the over-the-top 80s aesthetic and patent absurdity, the work is also a sharp commentary on how history is recorded, whose stories are allowed to be told, and how we know about the past. Drawing on speculative archives and techniques of autofiction, the artists ask: if there had been such a queer talk show, would it have been allowed to air, or would the archive have been lost to history? The artists point to the fact that queer communities of care have always existed, and have always been engaged in political and social struggle – their histories simply haven’t always been recorded. For this special screening, Sophie Seita and Naomi Woo will invite the audience into the world of The Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions, a queer feminist collective revived or ‘propagated’ by the artists in 2020. They’ve since been joined by numerous international artists, writers, researchers, farmers, gardeners, and audiences, in their efforts to critically think about flawed histories, experiment with and share other forms of knowledge, and build community and collaborate across practices, and even space and time. Since 2020, in response to the isolation of the Covid-19 pandemic, the collective has hosted online and in-person community gatherings, produced an opera, a website, a zine, allotment workshops on permaculture, somatic landscapes, compost, an exhibition, a ritual about water, complicity, and honouring queer and trans elders and kin lost to the water(s); and a writing group for people from low-income backgrounds. The project gives voice to hidden and forgotten queer history, interspecies and environmental care. As part of this event, Woo and Seita will also invite audiences to participate in a short workshop by writing ‘scores for care’ and thus contribute to their archive of ‘suspected members’. The event is organised in conjunction with Sophie Seita’s Werner Düttmann Fellowship by the Junge Akademie of the Akademie der Künste. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc374bdac96b3f55a77c8dc2b6246dbb47b406d58f5ac76fe2c7a5927f97bae2/_A641358-copy.jpeg" data-mid="219999570" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc374bdac96b3f55a77c8dc2b6246dbb47b406d58f5ac76fe2c7a5927f97bae2/_A641358-copy.jpeg" /> <img width="1920" height="1081" width_o="1920" height_o="1081" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87a4c904da23d1647e4b84adc2cb1c9d0c196c9f978197f1e31cbf32d710bba0/_A641353-copy.jpeg" data-mid="219999568" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87a4c904da23d1647e4b84adc2cb1c9d0c196c9f978197f1e31cbf32d710bba0/_A641353-copy.jpeg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a7290d195fa6fb0e38b0d349c8530f2af76ed7ec437ac8adccb8f381cefd9cab/_A641267-copy.jpeg" data-mid="219999571" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a7290d195fa6fb0e38b0d349c8530f2af76ed7ec437ac8adccb8f381cefd9cab/_A641267-copy.jpeg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8164055707c48f9fa4e6a649311d3a78ff6cbf6cf7018e01ade76dcf6a7cacf2/_A641328.jpeg" data-mid="219999574" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8164055707c48f9fa4e6a649311d3a78ff6cbf6cf7018e01ade76dcf6a7cacf2/_A641328.jpeg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44f3008fd9b431c52037d020047e34ae2acd7801ddb7df36ecbe0f09f8856966/_A641324.jpeg" data-mid="219999573" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44f3008fd9b431c52037d020047e34ae2acd7801ddb7df36ecbe0f09f8856966/_A641324.jpeg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2dccac99604a155a6c61de55246ba8ccb4cefcb88ad0af553d030c524edaca67/_A641386-copy.jpeg" data-mid="219999569" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2dccac99604a155a6c61de55246ba8ccb4cefcb88ad0af553d030c524edaca67/_A641386-copy.jpeg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c122a66af7c2aa2864837d2552ad705f8b11b30f64abfc064be28886f1da986e/_A641287-copy.jpeg" data-mid="219999572" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c122a66af7c2aa2864837d2552ad705f8b11b30f64abfc064be28886f1da986e/_A641287-copy.jpeg" /> https://hildegardsgardeningcompanions.cargo.site/Taey-Iohe-Artist-talk Thu, 21 Dec 2023 17:14:08 +0000 The Hildegard Von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions https://hildegardsgardeningcompanions.cargo.site/Taey-Iohe-Artist-talk Bouquets [events]Artist talk by Taey Iohe Presented as part of Sophie Seita’s and Naomi Woo’s exhibition bingenTV at Mimosa House Wednesday, November 22, 20234:30 PM &nbsp;6:30 PMMimosa House <img width="540" height="644" width_o="540" height_o="644" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4bcaefbef25b97bcc3c4c1e4c31d807d7596eabba4b6835501c8ad8cc3e0b8f9/Mimosa_Taey_Iohe01.jpg" data-mid="199935161" border="0" data-scale="50" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/540/i/4bcaefbef25b97bcc3c4c1e4c31d807d7596eabba4b6835501c8ad8cc3e0b8f9/Mimosa_Taey_Iohe01.jpg" />Emerging wild fiddleheads, photo by Taey&nbsp;Iohe Leak Out of Body, Leak Out of Planet How do our defiant earthly bodies and we release our tears, pus, lymph, hormones, bile, blood, and embodied knowledge into an uncertain tomorrow? What are the consequences of this leakage resulting from our experiences of upheaval, land excavations, and weary bodies? The act of separating land from water isn't merely division; it represents an act of creation. Likewise, the separation of ailing bodies from the wounded planet is intricately linked to colonial actions, affecting those residing by the water's edge or at the outermost margins of society. What emerges as a result of leaking from these experiences of uprooting, land disruptions, and exhausted bodies? Artist Taey&nbsp;Iohe will share their ongoing artistic research on 'leak territories' in personal and socio-botanical accounts, navigating polluted environments, encompassing both natural and societal systems, with profound impacts felt by the most vulnerable beings.Taey Iohe is a migrant art worker, a slow gardener, and a queer mother who creates and follows stories of decolonising botany as a practice through an Asian crip/queer feminist lens. Their approach fuses research-based work with personal narratives that challenge the socio-botanical entanglements within medicine culture, and climate justice.&nbsp;Taey&nbsp;is a co-founder of the Decolonising Botany Working Group and has presented a performance, A Refusing Oasis at Documenta 15 (2022).&nbsp;Taey&nbsp;holds a PhD in the programme of Gender, Identity and Culture at the School of English and Film, University College Dublin, funded by Writing On Borders.&nbsp;Taey&nbsp;is a working member of the Feminist Duration Reading Group and a resident at Somerset House.&nbsp;Taey&nbsp;teaches Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art.Listening Sourcehttps://www.nts.live/shows/phambinho/episodes/phambinho-3rd-october-2023 https://hildegardsgardeningcompanions.cargo.site/bingenTV-at-tete-a-tete Fri, 30 Jun 2023 12:59:37 +0000 The Hildegard Von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions https://hildegardsgardeningcompanions.cargo.site/bingenTV-at-tete-a-tete Bouquets [events]Past: <img width="1640" height="924" width_o="1640" height_o="924" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4fbb85bac10d1b08b326c71020a0928102f45029875a8460c268937829c623f8/bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV--14.png" data-mid="183783320" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4fbb85bac10d1b08b326c71020a0928102f45029875a8460c268937829c623f8/bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV-bingenTV--14.png" /> bingenTV Cockpit Theatre, August 2021, part of Tete a Tete Opera Festival Documentary-opera meets quirky gardening show, bingenTV immerses audiences in the world of the Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions, a queer-feminist collective originally founded by the German mediaeval mystic and musician Hildegard von Bingen and only recently uncovered by scholars. Through music, film, text, and a healthy dose of gossip, the show traces the history of the society and its revivals. With Sophie Seita as bingenTV’s charismatic host, and The Mermaid Cafe as the show’s dynamic studio band, you’ll not only be treated to a whirlwind jaunt through space and time, but also to some of history’s most insightful minds on interspecies and environmental care, plants, and healing. In the process, the performance offers a poignant meditation on hidden &amp; forgotten voices in gardening history and beyond. <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/34551368c9b136b793e6902098d9bd3c4ba51b54c0769b9d492496cbbb6900af/1.-web.tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---15_51365642174_o.png" data-mid="183786157" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/34551368c9b136b793e6902098d9bd3c4ba51b54c0769b9d492496cbbb6900af/1.-web.tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---15_51365642174_o.png" /> <img width="1500" height="828" width_o="1500" height_o="828" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/940b516446cfb61ebab1fd5201a27de7f735d9086519460f4134b256a1a63680/2.-web.tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---5_51365927640_o1.png" data-mid="183786158" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/940b516446cfb61ebab1fd5201a27de7f735d9086519460f4134b256a1a63680/2.-web.tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---5_51365927640_o1.png" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e449d8b5e1a7bb986ba77bfccf773ee69cb264131e233a7f5daef22b8e10198e/3.-web.-tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---31_51365113443_o1.png" data-mid="183786323" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e449d8b5e1a7bb986ba77bfccf773ee69cb264131e233a7f5daef22b8e10198e/3.-web.-tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---31_51365113443_o1.png" /><img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d91e2d2afc3ab3c2319914b85f0ac0beb28ac3f5274f5df5b71e88f99bf7f44d/4.-web.-tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---4_51365137003_o.png" data-mid="183786324" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d91e2d2afc3ab3c2319914b85f0ac0beb28ac3f5274f5df5b71e88f99bf7f44d/4.-web.-tattof21_bingentv_photoby_claireshovelton---4_51365137003_o.png" /> Photos: Claire ShoveltonbingenTV (live performance) Trailer (2021) [closed captions by Collective Text]Documentation of the full performance available upon request. concept + creation Sophie Seita Naomi Woo on-stage performer Sophie Seita (&amp; cameo by Naomi Woo) &nbsp;research + video contributions Adam Moore Emma Attwood Jenny Chamarette Kat Addis Istanbul Queer Art Collective Dr. Susie Self Taey Iohe music The Mermaid Cafe (Ruari Paterson-Achenbach &amp; Joanna Ward) Video and sound editing The Cockpit Theatre, &amp; Sophie Seita &amp; Naomi Woo Trailer edit: Ruby Reding captions Collective Text special thanks Duplikat Press Botanical Paperworks Bill Bankes-Jones Leo Doulton Anna Gregg The British Council, Farnham Maltings, Canada Council for the Arts and the High Commission of Canada further reading Eve Tuck and Wayne Yang,&nbsp; ‘Decolonization is Not a Metaphor’ Jamaica Kincaid, My Garden(book)Mamoud Darwish, ‘Who am I Without Exile?’, translated by Fadi JoudahLisa Robertson, Occasional Work and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft ArchitectureCarolyn Steedman, ‘Reading the Past’Donna Haraway, ‘Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Plantationocene, Chthulucene: Making Kin’Joe Crowdy, ‘Queer Undergrowth: Weeds and Sexuality in the Architecture of the Garden’Lisa Moore, ‘Queer Gardens: Mary Delany’s Flowers and Friendships’Arakawa and Madeline Gins, Making Dying Illegal Architecture Against Death <img width="577" height="106" width_o="577" height_o="106" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e94a51545e589b96420cdbdd9317a98bc51e21b3d31a8456a567f44c7ad81c8c/CCA_RGB_black_e.jpg" data-mid="183783321" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/577/i/e94a51545e589b96420cdbdd9317a98bc51e21b3d31a8456a567f44c7ad81c8c/CCA_RGB_black_e.jpg" /> https://hildegardsgardeningcompanions.cargo.site/Total-Station-performance-by-Youngsook-Choi Thu, 09 Nov 2023 15:51:21 +0000 The Hildegard Von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions https://hildegardsgardeningcompanions.cargo.site/Total-Station-performance-by-Youngsook-Choi Bouquets [events] Total Station, performance by Youngsook Choi at Mimosa House, Saturday 11 November 2023, 5pm <img width="2048" height="1152" width_o="2048" height_o="1152" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b5679e1fca8e2a68e33318b851a4fa3b945b21c3a8c0a1feac849d975552e4e/Y.Choi-Total-Station2023-1.png" data-mid="196379103" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b5679e1fca8e2a68e33318b851a4fa3b945b21c3a8c0a1feac849d975552e4e/Y.Choi-Total-Station2023-1.png" /> Youngsook Choi's performance, Total Station, invites the audience to hold the space for grief over losses by separation and hierarchy derived from colonial science around nature and life forms. Posing Western knowledge production as dominance-oriented ideologies and weaving through the speculative narratives of the elephant named Larut, this performance recalls, sits with and listens to the spirits merely reduced to ghostly numbers of theodolite survey in neo/colonial structure. Total Station attempts a spiritual upholding for interrogating the full circle of violence of extractive systems and conjuring up the interspecies healing moments of imagining otherwise. Youngsook Choi is an artist/researcher trained in human geography. Under the umbrella theme of political spirituality, her performances and multi-faceted installations explore intimate aesthetics of solidarity building and collective healing. Grief has been the focus of Youngsook's recent practice, posing collective grief as the process of socio-political autopsy upon certain types of death and environmental destruction. Not This Future (2020), commemorating the Essex 39 incident rooted in the Formosa Disaster; Book of Loss (2022), intervention performance grieving seven lost glaciers; In Every Bite of the Emperor (2021-ongoing/long-term), the transnational weaving of neo-colonial narratives around damaged ecosystems are in tandem with this inquiry.

She teaches fine art at Goldsmiths, University of London. Canadian conductor &amp; pianist Naomi Woo is a widely sought-after symphonic and operatic conductor and educator and the Music Director of NYO Canada. Beginning with the 23-24 season she is the Artistic Partner of Orchestre Métropolitain Montréal and joins the Philadelphia Orchestra as assistant conductor for the 24-25 season. She has conducted more than a dozen operas with students and young professionals in US and the UK, and collaboratively created new, genre-bending operatic works with Sasha Amaya and Catherine Kontz (A Certain Sense of Order, Tête à Tête Opera Festival 2017), Sophie Seita (Beethoven Was a Lesbian, Tête à Tête Opera Festival 2020), and Alex Ho/Julia Cheng (dramaturg for UNTOLD, Snape Maltings 2019). ABOUT SEMBRANDO HUMEDAD:The workshop formed part of Sowing Moisture, a collaboration between Ruta del Castor, Carolina Caycedo, organizations, educational institutions, community members of Xochimilco, artists, activists, farmers and students in order to collectively reflect upon the relationship that we have with water as a binding body that weaves cultures and ecosystems. We set out from the urgency of regenerating the agreement we have with the aquifer, of coming together with water within a space of community and convergence, of diversity of thought and collectivity. With Sowing Moisture our cultural work is aligned with the defense of life and territorial resistance to delve into its complexities and its ludic and artistic potentials. We immerse ourselves in water as a vital liquid that connects us with our ancestors and future generations, a space of gathering to moisten our imagination and think about more fluid and fair futures.Sembrando humedad es una colaboración entre Ruta del Castor, Carolina Caycedo organizaciones e instituciones educativas, miembros de la comunidad de Xochimilco, artistas, activistas, agricultores y estudiantes para reflexionar colectivamente sobre la relación que tenemos con el agua como cuerpo que entreteje culturas y ecosistemas. Partimos de la urgencia de regenerar el acuerdo que tenemos con el manto acuífero, de vincular con el agua en un espacio de comunidad, de diversidad de pensamiento y colectividad. En Sembrando humedad nuestro trabajo cultural se alinea con la defensa de la vida y la resistencia territorial para profundizar en sus complejidades y su potencial lúdico y artístico. Nos sumergimos en el agua como líquido vital que nos conecta con los ancestros y las generaciones venideras, un espacio de encuentro para humedecer nuestra imaginación y sentipensar futuros más fluidos y justos.

This workshop explored the relationship between landscapes and our bodies, memory held by the body, and performance as a making-process. This workshop oriented around specific responses, psychosomatic drawing, transmission of memory, memory of place, connection between landscape and body, memory held by the body, surrealism and automatism, performance as a making-process, making objects through ritual. Access information: Please note that access to the garden is through the building via some steps both at the front and back of the building. There is currently no accessible toilet in the building but accessible toilets are available across the street in Goldsmiths main campus building. If you have any questions about the shape or content of the workshop, or about any access needs, please contact us at hildegardsgardeningcompanions@gmail.com We look forward to hearing from you! Anju Marie Kasturiraj is a performance artist and researcher. Their ritual performances serve temporal interventions, to dissect the relationships between endurance, devotion, pain, bodily memory, colonial hauntology, and the environment. They also bake bread and brew kombucha, as methods of exploring the post-edible in feminist abject art and as ways to gather community around food. Anju is currently doing a PhD at the Royal College of Art School of Arts &amp; Humanities, which focuses on rituals, biopower, and abjection. They love reading, Pasolini films, 0% beer, and dancing with their friends. <img width="1200" height="1500" width_o="1200" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bac1df895fcbdf74777058246851dd2e74854186ecb143116f2a564255d4b23e/web_edit_5.png" data-mid="210569417" border="0" data-scale="37" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bac1df895fcbdf74777058246851dd2e74854186ecb143116f2a564255d4b23e/web_edit_5.png" />. &nbsp; <img width="1200" height="1600" width_o="1200" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6d521e765fcd66819b53b677f9c669d7c609042b878d7910a3e4fa93486830a/web_edit_4.png" data-mid="210569420" border="0" data-scale="35" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6d521e765fcd66819b53b677f9c669d7c609042b878d7910a3e4fa93486830a/web_edit_4.png" /><img width="1200" height="1500" width_o="1200" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a5479488c98eadd6a5e8fbf902e1cba903949d026abd8fa35c5bcf57d39496c4/web_edit_2.png" data-mid="210569387" border="0" data-scale="28" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a5479488c98eadd6a5e8fbf902e1cba903949d026abd8fa35c5bcf57d39496c4/web_edit_2.png" />. &nbsp;<img width="1200" height="1500" width_o="1200" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f0baf7b72494d1f72114b5e2f86ae7fe379cb208e0c6c007bf59c6b0285db15/web_edit_1.png" data-mid="210569379" border="0" data-scale="28" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f0baf7b72494d1f72114b5e2f86ae7fe379cb208e0c6c007bf59c6b0285db15/web_edit_1.png" />. &nbsp;<img width="1200" height="1500" width_o="1200" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e5c3a31397a9cac9d161f256e2e91eeedd44532e43290845679f4d06fe02975/web_edit_3.png" data-mid="210569391" border="0" data-scale="28" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e5c3a31397a9cac9d161f256e2e91eeedd44532e43290845679f4d06fe02975/web_edit_3.png" /> .&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;
