Alfonso Borragán: Maybe Memory is a process of Forgetfulness

Seed Journey, a seafaring voyage with a rotating crew of artists, anthropologists, biologists, bakers, activists, sailors and farmers, left the port of Oslo, Norway in 2017 with onboard ancient wheat and rye seeds. The expedition retraced the journey that the seeds had made thousands of years ago when they left their place of origin in the Mediterranean. On its way, at each stop, the crew exchanged ancient grain seeds with local farmers to grow them and keep them germinating. The rescue boat was a vessel full of ancient genetic memory, a plural harvest aiming to germinate the lost seeds.

The talk is introduced by Régine Debatty .
