Seed Books

Overview

As part of a research project supported by the CUNY Adjunct Incubator, Alicia Grullon, an adjunct at Queens College and the School of Visual Arts, will be working on an interdisciplinary art project “Seed Books” focused on creating a community seed bank, based on seeds grown in working class IBPOC communities and what that might look like in non-traditional formats.

“Seed Books” focused on creating a community seed bank, based on seeds grown in working class IBPOC communities and what that might look like in non-traditional formats. “Seed Books’ will culminate into an archive based on re-enacted oral-histories from interviews with gardeners, activists, and residents. Programming will support critical work on the connections between the body, land rights, migration, food sovereignty, gentrification and environmental justice. The incubator grant is funding initial research, interviews and filming focused on the response to COVID19 through mutual aid groups and community gardens.
