Symbiotic Seeds
SEED, Lycée Technicque Agricole (LTA) Luxembourg and Let’s Liberate Diversity! invites to participate in the 14th edition of the LLD Forum to come together, exchange and learn about cultivated diversity and dynamic seed management! From 4 to 6 September 2025
During the Diversity Market, I will offer an open workshop called “Symbiotic Seeds”: I am happy to share my favorite scientific facts and artistic research around biodiversity. Also, I will bring stories about seeds and am curious to engage in conversations to discuss for example if seeds are living beings or resources.
The European Coordination Let’s Liberate Diversity! (ECLLD) is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the dynamic management of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.
ECLLD‘s core belief is that the diversification food systems can be achieved through the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders involved in cultivated biodiversity. In collaboration with approximately 15,000 farmers, the members actively engage in the conservation and management of around 40,000 plant varieties.

Gedankenfutter
My new text Gedankenfutter – published in the exhibition magazine ‘Unter Pflanzen’ – invites you to a scientific and sensual encounter with plants and the soil. With literature and poetry as well as texts from the fields of philosophy, art, media, literature and natural sciences, the magazine links the research shown in the exhibition. ‘Among Plants’ explores plants as intelligent, sensitive beings.

Around a Tree
What can plants teach us? “Around a Tree” – a project initiated by Fernando Arias, James Richardson, Jonathan Colin, Lucia Lohmann, Mateo Suarez, Miguel Navas, Paola Pérez, Sina Ribak – wants to learn about the work of Plant Science research how it can contribute to understand better the relations of plants and climate change.
Read MoreBetween Us and Nature – A Reading Club #49
Have you been into composting lately? Making soil definitely is a good idea. We also ask what soil is. Soil is home to 90% of the world’s fungi, 85% of plants and more than 50% of bacteria – and 59% of life overall, a recent study says. Let’s look closer at soil organisms through the art and science practice of a microbiologist, who brings the tiniest soil world to light.

Oddkin° Launch @Zabriskie
oddkin°labs is a collaborative experiment with naturecultures that took place at the Experimentierfeld of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin this year.
- How do our collaborative experiences look like?
- Which potential has storytelling in the museum and scientific communication?
- When and where expertise is an obstacle? When is it necessary?
