Seed: Workshop and Walking Tour of Cracks in SoMa's Sidewalks: Saturday, March 29th, 2:00 - 4:00pm

Alicia Escott's Metabolic Rifts: Touch Memory, is a multi-channel video installation, created through a years-long process of making art and cultivating community, while growing plants native to the dune ecologies of San Francisco's Ocean Beach. Human hands reach out to touch the tendrils of plants, which provide habitats for extinct and threatened butterflies, growing out of dirt in discarded plastic bags. The plants reach back. The two are brought into a playful, reciprocal dance full of joy and wonder, eliciting questions of consent and concern. The piece draws audiences into a practice of collective inquiry, modeling an ethics of care in which the agency of the natural world is acknowledged with the personal attention of a lover, a child, a parent, or a friend: kin.
