from where the grain itself can speak

See local and international artists come together to amplify the stories that grain can tell us about our future.

This exhibition features artwork, both historical and modern, that gives voice to the plant, human and interspecies relationships that persist despite agricultural methods. Each piece personalizes the complex histories, politics and ideologies embedded in industrial wheat farming. Like pesticide-resistant weeds or the relentless reproduction of gophers in a field, each piece demonstrates the failure of monocultures of the mind.

We live in a moment of increased food insecurity alongside an uptick in authoritarianism and resistance to acting on a climate emergency—threatening international and industrialized food systems. These artworks invite us to listen to the stories the grain itself tells us about possible alternative futures.

Enjoy FREE admission for the duration of the exhibit, from January 16 – March 28. Make sure to catch it before it leaves!
