- Samenvatting:
- Fieldguides for a Preternaturalist is a series of small chapbooks initiated by South African artist Wendy Morris as part of her ongoing project Nothing of Importance Occurred: Recuperating a Herball for a Seventeenth Century Enslaved Angolan Midwife at the Cape. Combining historical and speculative research, the project is concerned with the missing narratives while approaching plants as archives and storytelling as method. It has as its focus the retrieving of a library of botanical-medicinal knowledge that might have informed Morris’s enslaved ancestor, Maaij Claesje of Angola, midwife in the Company Slave Lodge in Cape Town.
