- Brigstow Seedcorn awards for 2023/24 20 December 2023 Brigstow is delighted to introduce you to our newly funded cohort of seedcorn projects! This year’s cohort has projects varying from studies of storytelling to archival inclusivity, to creative approaches to care. Some explore the stories and narratives embedded in our contemporary and historical condition. From oral storytelling to narratives of waste and time embedded in the earth, to the stories contained in the migration and movement of rocks. Others look to creative and artistic methods in health and wellbeing including film projects, horticulture, sculpting, and processional arts. We were very excited to see many projects responding to our highlight of research responding to the cultural collections and how these can be used. We look forward to working closely with the cohort over the year and the cultural and community partners.
