This book is a tool. An invitation to become allies, to raise questions about the complexities and opportunities of an earthly site-specificity.
It is a call for an alliance with plants. Plants allow us to tell sometimes painful stories and penetrate the stratification of history.
Their roots inhabit it, and their seeds sprout, giving new meanings to it. The intensity and violence of enduring colonialism and its extractive processes imperil the planet. This is nowhere more dramatically apparent than in Democratic Republic of Congo. Here, Ex-Situ embraces what arises from a locality, listening to it, learning from it, understanding its importance, and sharing it.
The project aims to repair an ecosystem, and to act beyond the global economic system, including its values, narratives, teachings and institutions that produce our identity-driven, consumerist, nationalist societies. Acting with the culture of remedial plants, tilling the detritus of toxic ecosystems, and regenerating them, Ex-Situ proposes cultivating a new sensibility of radical care.

Questo libro è uno strumento. Un invito a diventare alleati, a sollevare domande sulle complessità e le opportunità a partire dalla specificità di un sito terrestre. È un appello all'alleanza con le piante. Le piante ci permettono di raccontare storie a volte dolorose e di penetrare la stratificazione della storia. Le loro radici la abitano e i loro semi germogliano, dandole nuovi significati. L'intensità e la violenza (del colonialismo) duraturo e dei (suoi) processi estrattivi mettono in pericolo il pianeta. Ciò è più drammaticamente evidente nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo. Qui, Ex-Situ accoglie ciò che nasce da una località, ascoltando, imparando da essa, comprendendone l'importanza e condividendo le informazioni. Il progetto mira a riparare uno specifico ecosistema, con un approccio critico al sistema economico globale, provando a ripensarne i valori, le narrazioni, gli insegnamenti e le istituzioni che producono le nostre società identitarie, consumistiche e nazionaliste. Agendo con la cultura delle piante riparatrici, dissodando i detriti degli ecosistemi tossici e rigenerando, Ex-Situ propone di coltivare una nuova sensibilità, fatta di cura radicale.

Ce livre est un outil. Une invitation à devenir des alliés, à soulever des questions sur les complexités et les opportunités des spécificités d’un site terrestre. C'est un appel à une alliance avec les plantes. Elles nous permettent de raconter des histoires, même très douloureuses, et de pénétrer la stratification de l'histoire : leurs racines l'ont habitée et leurs graines sont prêtes à germer et à donner un nouveau sens. Lorsque nous pensons à l'intensité et à la violence des processus d'extraction coloniale, la République démocratique du Congo est l'un des endroits du monde qui les représente le mieux. Ex-Situ signifie embrasser ce qui émerge d'une localité, l'écouter, apprendre d'elle, comprendre sa valeur et la partager. Pour réparer un écosystème, nous devons d'abord réparer le système économique occidental, ses valeurs, ses récits, ses enseignements et ses institutions qui pourrissent encore dans nos sociétés identitaires, extractives, consuméristes et nationalistes. Agir avec la culture des plantes restauratrices, planter et reconstruire sur les détritus des écosystèmes toxiques, en essayant de les régénérer, est l'acte le plus sensé et le plus significatif que l'on puisse faire.
