In Cultivating Dispersal, Laleh Motlagh explores the intimate and complex relationship between humans and the natural world. Working across drawing, painting, performance, video, and installation, Motlagh engages in quiet collaborations with non-human life—particularly plants—to reflect on themes of identity, belonging, and the porous boundaries between species.

Through this multidisciplinary practice, she invites us to consider how dispersal—of seeds, of people, of ideas—can be both a survival strategy and a form of rootedness. Cultivating Dispersal offers a poetic meditation on how we inhabit the world in relation to the more-than-human.
