Summary

Beirut Art Center's community rooftop garden is a mutual aid initiative centered around food sovereignty. The garden seeks to connect local grassroots initiatives and provide farmers a foothold in the city, while creating an interdisciplinary approach to questions of sustenance, with farmers, activists and artists. The project centers around a vegetable garden and a seed bank, to create a hands on approach to alternative forms of nutrition, political thought and social organizing.
