Seed Stories: Opening Exhibition

July 13 @ 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Join us for the opening of our summer exhibition, Seed Stories: A Celebration of Land-based Creators, to learn about the land-based art practices of seedkeepers in Philadelphia and the stories they steward. This joyous gathering will include a live dance performance, stamp-making for seed packet decoration, food, and more!

This event is free to attend. Registration is encouraged. Walk-ins welcome.

About the Exhibition:

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.
