Seeking archive material: Vintage Seeds of Resistance!
Were you involved in anti-GMO campaigns back in the day?
Have you got any photos, videos, leaflets or memories that you’d like to share? If so, GM Freeze wants to hear from you!
We’re heading to the Oxford Real Farming Conference with a plan. We’re going to gather together people who have – at some point in their journeys – campaigned against genetically modified organisms, with people of a younger generation who may be wondering what all the fuss was about. Whether you are curious, or a vintage campaigner, we’d love you to join us!
Drawing on archive material and dusting off memories, we’ll be exploring what made the GM campaign so extraordinary – and so successful that it stopped a powerful global industry in its tracks.
What ignited fires of resistance then, and what has changed? What can the food activists of today learn from the campaigners of yesterday? Are concerns about GM a thing of the past too, or should we be mobilising again against a new wave of GM?
Some of the material we gather will be displayed in an exhibition throughout the day. All will be shared afterwards with the History of Resistance archive and exhibition project (with consent).
Please contact info[AT]gmfreeze.org if you’ve got material you’d like to share, or to let us know you’ll be joining us on the day for a spot of reminiscing. We hope to see you there.
Have you got a picture of this pink castle? Get in touch!
