Jul 31, 2023Small Talk: All the dirt on growing mini-but-mighty trees
Nov 03, 2024Bonsai is about understanding nature's subtle language. Because trees communicate nonverbally, caring for a bonsai requires patient observation and horticultural understanding. But what if a bonsai could tell you exactly what it needs for growth and life? What if you could ask bonsai questions and get a reply?
Chat with a bonsai and ask your questions! Small Talk brings the material of textbooks to life with 41 living trees. Through anime-inspired illustrations, emojis, and text-like exchanges, the exhibition bridges the gap between textbook STEM education and real-world fun. From “Thirst Alerts” to “Pruning Notifications,” Small Talk answers common questions about bonsai in the format of a chat. Includes interactive stations to try your hand at bonsai wiring and sift through the bonsai’s special soil.
Small Talk opens May 11 at Pacific Bonsai Museum in Federal Way. Free admission ($12 suggested donation for adults). Open Tuesday–Sunday, 10am to 4pm. More at https://pacificbonsaimuseum.org/on-view/exhibits/#smalltalk.
