The Next Epoch Seed Library exists as a fluid, crowd-sourced collection of seeds and as a series of physical installations.

We are currently on view at:

Seeds: Containers of a World to Come at the Mildred Lane Kemper Museum at Washington University in St. Louis, open through July 28, 2025. More info about our installation.

At a moment when ecological concerns are becoming increasingly urgent, Seeds: Containers of a World to Come brings into dialogue work by ten contemporary artists whose research-based practices are defined by sustained inquiry into plant–human–land relations. For the artists Shiraz Bayjoo, Carolina Caycedo, Juan William Chávez, Beatriz Cortez, Ellie Irons, Kapwani Kiwanga, Jumana Manna, Anne Percoco, Cecilia Vicuña, and Emmi Whitehorse, the seed is the kernel, literally and metaphorically, of their investigations into issues of fragility, preservation, and possibility in the face of the global climate crisis.
