Abstract

"Balsamic Garden II. Queer-ecological Workshops for Seniors from Mysłowice and Tychy" is an interdisciplinary project, whose goal was to invite seniors to partake in a conversation about queer culture. The project was based on the ecosystemic approach, as its creators paid special attention to the multilevel relationships, such as those established between the participants and the local ecosystems, or the environment of the engaged institutions and organizations. The present article describes the project goals, undertaken actions as well as developing partnerships, including the collaboration with Kolektyw Śląsk Przegięty (The Queer Silesia Collective). Discussed were the key actions such as botanic walks focused on the observation of the local biodiversity as well as the presentation of The Queer Silesia Collective's archives and the outcome of the Queer Literary Club. The project - using nature as a space for searching for openness and diversity - highlights the potential of queer ecology as an effective tool in breaking down cultural and social barriers.
