Launching with San Francisco Art Week 2026 (January 17-25, 2026), ICA SF is partnering with SHVO at Transamerica Pyramid Center as part of the Pyramid Arts initiative. In collaboration with curatorial platform Art at a Time Like This, ICA SF will present landscape artist Lily Kwong’s major new site-responsive project EARTHSEED DOME outdoors in Transamerica Redwood Park.

This 3D-printed living soil installation merges ancestral building practices with emerging technology, serving as both a public artwork and seed dispersal hub to restore urban ecology. With printing starting during SF Art Week fully visible to the public, EARTHSEED DOME will continuously build itself and evolve onsite through July 2026, with fabrication led by Atelio and WASP 3D. Through public workshops and native seed distribution, visitors and commuters will be engaged as pollinators, transforming the park and surrounding downtown into a participatory ecological corridor that connects urban audiences with native ecology and fosters dialogue around sustainability and community care.

“As a Bay Area native, my creative consciousness and ecological attunement was completely shaped by this place. I often say I was raised by Redwoods, as these mighty trees felt as much like ancestors as any human being growing up as a small child in Mill Valley. By high school I was at school in the city, being radically inspired by the kinetic quirky, creative culture of SF in the early aughts. I’ve spent over 15 years building installations all over the world, always with the inspiration of the Redwoods in my heart and to be invited by such a revolutionary arts organization to build a site-responsive, ecologically meaningful piece in this iconic grove amongst the trees and community that have given me my creative life, purpose and mission in the world is an honor of a lifetime.” — Lily Kwong
