Abstract
This research project and video will explore stories of the kudzu vine (Pueraria montana var. lobata) and its journey through U.S. history in the 20th century. I will begin with a 10 minute video produced for this research called "The Queen of Kudzu" and I will follow with more historical context and discussion. Overall, this is a methodological project which mixes the actor- network approach in STS (Callon, Latour, Law, Star) with arts-based research. (Leavy, Saldaña) and a history of ecologies.
