The Blood Herb: An Exploration of the Social History of St John's Wort

May 1st - June 14, 2026

This exhibition by artist India Flint explores the social history of Hypericum Perforatum (St John’s Wort), a medicinal perennial often seen as a weed but traditionally used to treat various ailments, dye fabric and to make ink. Its yellow flowers, blooming in midsummer, trace European landscapes and settler routes in Australia and North America.
