Curated by Monica J. Brown and Nora Moore Lloyd, Seeds of Resilience brings together women and non-binary artists whose works explore how personal, cultural, and ecological survival are deeply intertwined. Centered on themes of environmental justice, ancestral memory, and the intimate relationship between care and resistance, the exhibition takes the seed as its guiding metaphor.
