Our project rethinks the user experience in the Royal Botanical Kew Gardens to place emphasis on educating its visitors about its colonial past and the impact of its botanical exploitation.

Plants in the Kew were collected and taken unfairly from their origins through the colonizing power. With a spirit of consent, we structured our system so visitors collect the plants through learning about their origins and thus “bring them home”.
The re(solution) walk symbolizes the clarity and understanding the visitor gains as they move along their path.

Pixelation and censorship move into depth and transparency, from an informational journey to celebratory finale.
