Description

A workshop on the basics of food sovereignty, how it relates to cultural identity, and how we can contribute to our local food systems. Learn more about food sovereignty, and how we can each contribute to our local food system. This workshop will be hosted by Liv Furman, who will go over links between food sovereignty, gardening, wellness, and Black identities. Participants will be invited to reflect upon their own experiences with food, gardening, and identity through journaling, artmaking, and discussion. In order to be able to offer exceptional gardening workshops to our community, we try to price the workshops to cover our costs of hosting them while keeping the registration affordable for our neighbors. If you can, we ask that you pay the suggested $15. You are always welcome to pay more to support our programming and subsidize attendance for other neighbors. If the cost of this workshop is a burden for you but you still want to come, we will not turn you away!
