Welcome to The Mustard Seed!

"Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Never lose a holy curiosity."
- Albert Einstein

Here at The Mustard Seed we create collaborative community documentary projects, using photography and other multimedia tools to capture visions that often go unseen. We've been inspired by our own curiosity to create projects which give us the chance to see the world through the eyes of others; we hope to encourage a spirit of creative curiosity in our project participants as well, and in those who see our work. Thanks for following your curiosity to this site.

What's in a name?

There are lots of parables from various traditions that use the metaphor of the humble mustard seed. It represents that tiny spark of potential: the smallest of seeds can, when planted in welcoming soil and nurtured, grow into the largest of plants, a source of nourishment and of shelter. Our mission is to plant tiny seeds - of curiosity, creativity, and compassion - in ourselves and others, and see how they grow.
