Of Seed, Soil, and Stars:
Meditations on Land, Body, Resistance, and Regeneration
Of Seed, Soil, and Stars, curated by Joy A. Anderson and Robin Garcia,
brings together six interdisciplinary artists who collaborate with earth and communities, using soil, rainwater, and natural pigments as material. Together, their work explores the relationships between the land and body and between migration and memory. The exhibition asks, “How does the impact of colonial extractive processes and resulting diasporic related traumas move us towards reimagining and recreating right relationship with lands and bodies?”
