‘Garden of Resilience’ (2023) by ITZATNA is a poetic visual experience designed to provide meditation, affirmation, and invigoration for artists, activists, and workers, to help them cope with both stressful project deadlines, and the (often inevitable) burnout phase afterward.
Since the 2020 pandemic, the ITZATNA collective – led by Alfredo Hau – have slowly been transforming our back garden in Birmingham (UK) into an oasis of calm, away from the stresses and strains of work and the city. Through filming and archiving Alfredo’s cultivations in the garden, we have been having intergenerational conversations about care, land, belonging, and ancestral healing. We hope that you too, may unwind and regenerate with us, in the quiet peace of our ‘huerto urbano’, reimagined through this tender video.
