Description

Liberation starts with land. Support a young urban farmer and video artist’s endeavor to land ownership. Engage with her latest experimental film and enjoy a night filled with music, art, food, and uplifting energy. Project description: The food system relies on oppression. Since beginning my career as a farmer in 2017, I’ve yet to meet a farmer, gardener, or food grower who isn’t overworked. Growing food for profit exploits the land, land workers, and all the food workers in between. We need justice. We need more growing spaces centered around education where people learn about how to care for the land, and therefore themselves. Abolish the food system and grow food. Let’s create educational growing spaces in nature, away from the city without the pressure of profit for produce. In 2022, I'll be acquiring 25.52 acres of land located in Chateaugay, NY through a private sale to create land based educational agricultural programing. Interested to find out my plans for the land? Engage with my latest film, A quiet revolution premiering on December 4th at Jolo's 49 Lawton St, New Rochelle, NY 10801. Event details: Come hungry and ready to support liberation on land. There will be food, drinks, and merchandise for sale all night. All proceeds and donations will go towards foundational building plans and property payments.

Film preview: A quiet revolution preview Travel Directions: Public transit: I recommend traveling as a group. For folks coming from Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens, it's fairly accessible to travel uptown via public transit. New Rochelle is a 35 minute metro north train ride from Grand Central station. This is the best public transit option as the New Rochelle station is simply a 3 minute walk from the from the venue located at 49 Lawton St, New Rochelle, NY. Once you arrive at the New Rochelle metro north station (1)walk up the steps in the opposite direction of the train (2)exit the station and walk straight onto Shearwood Pl (3) cross Huguenot St(4) turn right onto Lawton St For folks traveling from the Bronx: Driving, or taking the metro north from Fordham are the best options.
