Seeds: Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures

Look for

• Jumana Manna's grain-jar family

  At the entrance, anthropomorphic ceramic versions of the Levantine khabya, a grain bin once built into village houses, stand together on a metal and concrete platform.

• Tue Greenfort's crop box and bronze stalk

  A brightly lit patch of Austria's five most common crops grows in a wooden enclosure, with a small bronze cast of a rarely planted old grain stalk on the wall beside it.

• Kapwani Kiwanga's inflatable seed

  Upstairs, a large seed-shaped PVC inflatable modelled on the glass Wardian cases once used to ship plants out of their native habitats.

• Kiwanga's Seedbank tapestry

  On the wall behind the inflatable, a woven wool and glazed ceramic tapestry holding replicas of African rice grains, tied to the history of the slave trade.

• Cecilia Vicuña's Semiya (Seed Song)

  In a quiet corner, a projected video of Vicuña gathering endangered Andean seeds while chanting, beside a translation of her poem asking Allende for a seed day.

Good for

• Going Solo
• Nerding Out

Skip if

You find uneven floors hard going: the building's floors undulate, though a lift reaches every level.
