Seed Stories: A Celebration of Land-based Creators
Seed Stories brings together several of Philadelphia’s seedkeepers to share the artistic practices they tend to alongside their gardens. Seedkeeping, a practice of growing plants for seed harvesting, sustains genetic biodiversity and carries forward ancestral wisdom, ensuring the legacy of these plants and their communities for future generations. These artists preserve, craft, and build through a variety of mediums, including ceramics, embroidery, cyanotypes, paintings, and printmaking. Seedkeepers are more than gardeners; they are stewards of the future. Through their artistic and land practices, they honor ancestral traditions, cultivate resilience, and sow the seeds of connection - https://www.schuylkillcenter.org/news/event/seed-stories-opening-exhibition/
