BOOKING: No booking required.
Vivien Sansour, founder of the Palestinian Heirloom Seed Project - an initiative centred on caring for and preserving seeds as keepers of ancestral connection and models of subversive advocacy - joins us to share her work and the context of land justice in Palestine.
Vivien Sansour is an artist, researcher, and writer. She uses installations, images, sketches, film, soil, seeds, and plants to enliven old cultural tales in contemporary presentations and to advocate for seed conservation and the protection of agrobiodiversity as a cultural/political act. Vivien founded the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library in 2014, where she works with farmers in Palestine and around the world to preserve ancestral seeds and biocultural knowledge. Her work as an artist, scholar, and writer has been showcased internationally. Vivien was most recently the Distinguished Artistic Fellow in Experimental Humanities at Bard College.
This event is delivered in partnership with Nottingham Contemporary and The Field.
Access: This event will take place at Nottingham Contemporary in Gallery 1. There is step free access to the building and Gallery 1. Accessible toilets can be found on the basement level.
