A Celebratory Seeding Event, performance, January 2022.
A Celebratory Seeding Event was a live-streamed performance to celebrate Linda Mary Montano’s 80th birthday gathering at Franklin Furnace.
From my backyard in Melbourne, I planted 80 herb, flower and vegetable seeds in brightly coloured pots. The seeds were collected from local community gardens and my vegetable patch. As a birthday gift, the performance celebrated the special communal, life-affirming, future-hopeful action of planting seeds. Over the following weeks, I nurtured the seedlings until they were strong enough to be given away to people in the local community.
