Seeds from the Streets to the Seas (2019)
10-minute audio collage compiled by Coila-Leah Enderstein from field recordings by Zayaan Khan and a text written and performed by Zayaan.
An emergent, long-distance collaboration between food activist and artist Zayaan and Coila-Leah over May and June 2019 around the idea of “seeds as relation.” The collaboration experiments with techniques of storytelling, relaying, and listening-in-common.
Exhibited in June 2019 as part of the "Seeds as Relation" group exhibition in Beni Aïssi, Morocco, as part of the bigger SOIL IS AN INSCRIBED BODY. ON SOVEREIGNTY, AGROPOETICS AND STRUGGLES FOR LIBERATIONS project. Curated by SAVVY Contemporary, Berlin.
Presented in 2024 as part of the “Ecospheres” exhibition at the Johannesburg Contemporary Art Foundation.
