"La maison germinative"

Leone Contini sows, harvests, and distributes seeds and plants. For him, they are tools to explore displacement, hybridization, and cultural enrichment, as well as symbols of sharing and solidarity between different groups. La maison germinative (The Germinative House) provides an opportunity for Leone Contini to narrate the journey of seeds exchanged with the seed library at Le Rize as part of the exhibition OTIUM #4 in 2019 at the IAC. How have seeds from other continents found favorable conditions in various Italian regions, and how do they coexist today in the community gardens of Villeurbanne? Designed as an open seed swap for everyone, where seeds and stories are exchanged, this meeting will be followed by a workshop in the IAC gardens where some seeds will be collectively sown.
