ApotheCARTS
With help from Tulane Small Center and Samara School of Community Herbalism, The Prisoner’s Apothecarts, exists as a series of mobile herbal medicine carts that make healing justice and abolition both visible and accessible in the city of New Orleans. Filled with plant medicine from the Prisoner’s Apothecary, The Apothecarts, nicknamed ‘armadillo’ and ‘camelback’ will catalyze public conversations at the intersection of healthcare, community care, public art, and abolition.
By employing the emergent strategies of our emblem, Bidens pilosa (the south’s version of a dandelion), this project will deploy herbal medicine carts that seed possibility through storytelling & plant sharing, aimed at solutions for a more humane, equitable and just society.
