Rhizome is a subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes. It is also carrying multiple cultural and philosophical meanings, and we want to acknowledge the influence of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in our thinking about rhizomes. However we are not interested in a purely philosophical discourse, we are rather interesting in thinking how learning from rhizome can we find new ways for being together differently.

Rhizome offers us to think of poetics of interconnectedness, of a structure without a center, of a fundamental openness to new connections, respecting multiplicity, heterogeneity, and a process that is defined by the ability to form symbiotic connections. We relate to an incompleteness and complexities of the rhizome metaphor and of learning from and with plants in general.
