The Creole Garden story

On the plantations, enslaved people were given small, hidden plots of land — the creole gardens. There they grew their own food, kept their own seeds, their own tastes, their own memories. These gardens were invisible to the masters, yet they preserved dignity, culture and identity.

Creole Garden borrows this metaphor: the cultural values of Istria's artists live in hidden gardens too. They are not on billboards — they wait quietly in stone houses, workshops and olive groves, to be discovered by those who are willing to walk for them.

Every artist in this app plants five seeds on the map. Whoever finds all five may enter the garden itself.
