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.

We want everyone to be able to enjoy our exhibitions. As part of our digital access programme, we produced an audio described tour of 'Mary Quant' to bring the show to life in a different way.
We recorded artist and describer Juliana Capes describing the exhibition to her friend Anne Dignan. Listen as they tour the exhibition together and describe the sights, sounds and memories it evokes.
Juliana Capes is a visual artist and educator who has worked in the field of visual description for 15 years. She is the lead artist on the National Gallery of Scotland Visual Impairment Programme and believes passionately in arts access for all.
