Seeds carry memories of resistance and subsistence, but also of colonization, appropriation, exploitation. They carry ancestral knowledges that refused to disappear; they are portals into more rebellious and just futures, medicine for our biological and social soil. Seeds are teachers of other ways of living, learning, and relating to the world.
Seed justice practices—defending, reproducing, sharing, and reclaiming seeds—are ways of cultivating worlds rooted in reciprocity, biodiversity, care, interdependence, and solidarity, relating across territories, communities, and species.

The workshop takes place in the framework of
AYOCOTL Seed Library for All
A place of learning. A common good. A growing network.
The AYOCOTL Seed Library for All is installed in the café room of < rotor >. First and foremost, it facilitates the storage and distribution of plant seeds, but it also collects information and specialist literature on the subject and provides a space for studying seeds and for discussion. In addition, a library of the soils of Graz is currently being established.
The Seed Library for All is a place of learning that combines local adaptation with the conservation of plant varieties and is run on a community basis. Here you can obtain seeds of varieties that have already been tried and tested locally, take your time, share experiences and work together to develop them further. However, the Seed Library only works if more seeds are returned than are taken. Without seeds, there would be no food, no clothing, no raw materials—no life as we know it. Seeds are a contract we have entered with our ancestors—and also with all those who will come after us. For thousands of years, people have been storing, exchanging and propagating seeds—often as a matter of course in their everyday lives.
Join in and become part of our growing seed network!
