Seeds Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures

Seeds provide us with food and raw materials, preserve diversity and knowledge, and represent hope and renewal. They form the very foundation of our lives. The publication Seeds: Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures, which accompanies the exhibition of the same name, explores the multifaceted significance of seeds as a mirror of our relationship to the Earth and to one another. Works by international artists tell stories of migration and colonialism, indigenous knowledge, biodiversity, agriculture, resistance, and regenerative futures. The exhibition bridges the gap between art, ecology, and activism, offering new perspectives on the potential of care and collective growth.
