The exhibition From the Ground Up, Armory Center for the Arts' contribution to the PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative, looks at seeds as a start point for imagining alternative, sustainable futures

About the exhibition: What can seeds tell us about the future? Seeds and the plants that grow from them have provided us with food, clothing, shelter, and medicine for millennia. For just as long, humans have used sciences, technologies, myths, and art to peer into an imagined future. As we stare out toward our own future, one threatened by climate change and complicated by social unrest, the From the Ground Up: Nurturing Diversity in Hostile Environments exhibition looks to the seed - such as those seeds that lie at the bottom of the forest floor waiting for the cyclical fire season that promotes new growth and diversity to sprout - for inspiration and guidance on how to navigate current and coming hostile environments.
