Library of Ancestral Knowledge: Seedling Memories
This creative workshop is reserved for ESEA diaspora people.
This creative workshop explores growing as part of the Library of Ancestral Knowledge: how can gardening serve as an act of cultural preservation? Participants are invited to think or dream about recipes, herbal remedies, gardening tips, and stories.
Join landscape architect and gardener Yoni Carnice for a hands-on workshop exploring how gardening can connect us to ancestral knowledge and cultural memory across Vietnamese and ESEA communities. Through paper collage, cooking, and practical gardening activities, we will collectively reflect on how nurturing the land helps preserve shared histories and traditions.
Using archival imagery, heritage food crops, and recycled materials, participants will share personal memories of landscapes, gardens, and home. We will also learn practical techniques for growing Southeast Asian herbs and vegetables in our local London climate, exploring creative ways to adapt traditional growing practices to new environments.
Whether you are an experienced gardener or just starting out, this workshop invites you to connect with family and diaspora memory through the simple act of gardening.
**We use the term family broadly to include any form of family structure, including LGBTQIA+ families, chosen family, friends and allies.
