ROOTED: Palestinian Environmental Resilience with Vivien Sansour
🗓️Come to our Tuesday panel with Vivien Sansour about the history of environmental resilience in Palestine amid occupation and apartheid!
Vivien Sansour is an artist, storyteller, researcher and conservationist. She uses image, sketch, film, soil, seeds, and plants to enliven old cultural tales in contemporary presentations and to advocate for the protection of biodiversity as a cultural and political act.Vivien works with a global network of farmers and seed advocates to promote seed conservation and agrobiodiversity. As part of this effort, she founded the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library, with the goals of finding and reintroducing threatened crop varieties and to collect stories to assert the ownership of seeds by communities.
The event is open to all!
