Plants are often seen as passive, but through evolution they have developed clever ways to protect themselves. This inspired Anna Zoe Hamm to carry out research in botanical gardens and the Natural History Archive of Vienna. Based on this, she designed a broom weapon armoury, where the broom refers both to women’s work and to the way it was sometimes seen as a weapon in history, for example during witch hunts. Hamm uses the militant forms of plants as inspiration for feminist strategies of resistance. She presents the brooms as living relational objects: powerful yet caring, challenging old ideas of patriarchal power.
