Episode 3 – The Resilient Seed with Vivien Sansour & Leonie Bell

In this episode we listen to a conversation between two stewards of culture: Leonie Bell, our director here at V&A Dundee, and Vivien Sansour, founder of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library, in Battir, Palestine. Together they talk through the journey of the seed, and how it has shaped design and the world around us. It bridges both of our current exhibitions Garden Futures and Thread Memory: Embroidery from Palestine. **Content warning: This episode contains depictions of genocide and death.** This podcast series is part of the exhibition public programme for Garden Futures: Designing with Nature, which is open from the 17 May 2025 until 26 January 2026.
