Join us for drop-in workshops at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, that explore shape, composition, pattern, and design while highlighting the importance of seed saving and seed conservation. Led by artist Vero Diaz, participants in either of two sessions will create seed quilt squares inspired by an art form indigenous to Mexico.
Tlamanalli (or Tlalmanalli) is an ancestral seed art from Mexico that uses 65 seeds in a creative and ritual expression deeply rooted in Nahua traditions. Its name comes from the Náhuatl words tlalli, which means “Earth,” and tlamana, which means “offering,” and translates literally as “offering to the Earth.”
