    Description

    What happens when a seed library stops being a metaphor, when ecological thinking is exercised not only exhibited, when the outside is invited in and it refuses to leave? Not only does it not leave: it germinates, grows, reproduces, gets sick, is eaten, rots and ferments, lives again. In this virtual lecture, Rowan Lear will discuss seedwork in the context of institutions and art practices, drawing on their work with the Glasgow Seed Library, ongoing contestations, and broader collaborations within the global north seed community.
