href="https://www.international.ucla.edu/lai/person/2534">Vikram Tamboli</a> (Visiting Scholar at the Latin American Institute) in collaboration with Anthony Baniaga (Herbarium Curator and Adjunct Assistant Professor in EEB) and forms a core project of the Plants and Peoples initiative of the UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden. Showcasing plants that both have been linked to healing and harming traditions around the world, the Garden facilitates a campus-wide conversation about the multiple ways of conceiving, living, and honoring the natural world. As a conceptual space, the Garden is transdisciplinary, bringing together specific conversations emerging from the History, Geography, and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Medicine, centering the multiple ways of engaging the power and sacred intelligence of plants.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Garden privileges ‘Native,’ ‘Indigenous,’ and/or ‘Alternate’ epistemologies and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">cosmologies from across the world (American, African, Asia, and European) to provoke a dialogue with Enlightenment Science and its specific genealogies of knowledge and traditions of classification, curation, preservation, and bioprospecting.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a physical space within the Botanical Garden, The Healing and Harming Garden provides a new way of conceptualizing the role of the garden as teaching tool and proposes an alternate means of reading plants, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">the landscape, and, more generally, the natural world, as a part of a cross-cultural lexicon of power and knowledge.</span></p> </div></section></div><div class='flex_column av-3is9jns-02082e5023fdf3ecc31b0f958107b8cc av_two_fifth avia-builder-el-8 el_after_av_three_fifth el_before_av_hr flex_column_div ' ><style type="text/css" data-created_by="avia_inline_auto" id="style-css-av-lu4h1otp-35b4b02b27135ddf6be4f386a07236b5"> .avia-image-container.av-lu4h1otp-35b4b02b27135ddf6be4f386a07236b5 img.avia_image{ box-shadow:none;

A key source of atropine in the historical development of Western Medicine, in Mexico varieties of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Datura and Solandra</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are rumored to be used by native women to control wayward spouses as much as they form parts of sacred landscapes, pathways to shamanic discovery and sometimes death.

In the adjacent Andean highlands of Peru as well as in parts of the Brazilian Amazon, it is a recognized shamanic vehicle. However, the fact that scopolamine was also a drug developed by the United States military and that this knowledge may have been exported is an important pathway to denaturalize the relationship between indigenous knowledge of poisons and a bioprospecting imperial state. In homologous fashion, across India </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Datura metel</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is widely offered to Lord Shiva, the creator and destroyer of the universe.
