In recent years, communities in Lebanon and Palestine have faced genocide, ecocide, displacement, and the growing control of corporate capitalism over food and agriculture. At the same time, proposed seed laws and policies threaten to legalize monopolies over seeds, restrict farmers’ rights to save, reproduce, exchange, and sell them, and deepen dependence on corporations.
Protecting seeds is therefore not only an agricultural issue. It is an act of resistance, memory, sovereignty, and survival. With this print, I am collecting donations for AgriMovement, a Lebanese grassroots organization working for food sovereignty, agroecology, and the rights of small-scale farmers. They propagate and defend local seeds, support farmers and women-led cooperatives, and build community-based alternatives for a just, sovereign food system. 100% of the profit will go directly to support their work.
If you’d like to donate directly to AgriMovement you can do it here.
Each print is designed, carved, and hand-printed by me in my small workshop in the Laurentians. Because of it’s handmade nature, slight variations in color and print may occur. These small differences are exactly what make hand-printed works so special and beautiful.
I print on handmade Lokta paper, and each sheet has its own unique character. This makes every piece truly one of a kind.
