Plant-based color, historically tied to systems of value, also acts as an archive of soil health, biodiversity, and environmental memory. The work brings together around one hundred textile squares, dyed with plants and soils from the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific, suspended inside an Azorean pineapple greenhouse. This setting highlights the unique history of these local infrastructures as spaces of care and innovation. Using dye-baths from pineapple rinds and leaves on pi\u00f1a fiber, the installation generates a \u201cplantone\u201d catalogue mapping the plant\u2019s entanglements with other species and territories. Over two months, the hues shift with sunlight, offering a living record of transformation and resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1188,"template":"","event-category":[48,47],"class_list":["post-1195","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event-category-new-commissions","event-category-installation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Smooth Cayenne Notes - Walk&amp;Talk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/2025.walktalkazores.org\/en\/event\/smooth-cayenne-notes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Smooth Cayenne Notes - Walk&amp;Talk\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Smooth Cayenne Notes is a natural-dye textile installation that traces the global journeys of the pineapple since the 19th century, exploring its ecology and hidden bonds with other plants through color.
