Hænke
Haenke is an interdisciplinary research studio whose mission is to raise awareness of the importance of plant biodiversity through art and culture.
Haenke was conceived in early 2017 by Julien Antih and Alexandra Strelcova, with the aim to provide a reliable source of information about the uses of plants in medicine and human health. The idea came about as a result of frustration over the lack of evidence-based knowledge being available in formats that wider public, and especially younger generations, could understand.
Since then, they worked with artists, designers, architects, and photographers to create experiences, objects, installations, photoessays and other physical and online projects. Together, they design and implement installations and other types of events in galleries, public spaces, music venues, art and design fairs as well as outreach activities that help understand the role of plants and nature in various community settings. Haenke works with photographers, editors, designers, and brands in order to further encourage mise-en-scene of important plants and related stories through media editorials. Selected work: Forbes, Elle Decoration, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue Czechoslovakia & others. Since 2022, they are official partners of New European Bauhaus.
