“A small seed carries a long memory.”
Overview
Small Seeds. Expansive Stories.
The Seed Heritage Project explores how traditional seeds can serve as living artifacts — linking families to their ancestral lands, supporting biodiversity, and preserving cultural memory.
Through research, collaboration, and storytelling, this project traces heirloom varieties from Puglia, identifies their historical and familial connections, and follows their journeys into diaspora communities around the world.
Seeds hold the stories of place, people, and possibility.
