About

The influence of wheat on the development of societies and geopolitics is a multifaceted and enduring phenomenon. From the ancient roots of settled agriculture to modern conflicts over fertile land, the cultivation of wheat has shaped the course of human history and continues to influence geopolitical dynamics in diverse ways. The exhibition encourages contemplation on the interconnectivity of cultures, societies, and the profound influence that something as simple as wheat can have on the course of human history. Some works draw parallels between wheat and concepts of fertility, healing, and abundance found in ancient civilizations, while others delve into the ritualistic use of wheat in ceremonies and festivals.
