Seeds form the foundation of our lives. They supply us with food and raw materials, embody biological diversity, preserve and pass on regional knowledge and cultural heritage, and stand for hope, change and renewal. The exhibition Seeds. Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures explores the many-layered meanings of seeds and seed stock as a mirror of our relationship to the earth and to one another.
Works by 14 international artists tell of disappearance and preservation, of loss and regeneration, of the potential of care and of growing together. The exhibition builds bridges between art, ecology and activism and invites reflection on possible futures.
The guided tour with assistant curator Stephan Kuss offers background information on the artistic positions and on the making of the exhibition.
