The Sankara Seed Project initiates an emancipatory community action practice of sustainable agriculture through seed keeping and collective action. The project mobilizes community members, social movements, and local farmers to plant seeds during the annual Kwanzaa celebration to produce transplants and develop ancestral foodways in food insecure communities while providing education and resources . The project will conclude with the distribution of plants, seedlings and flowers during the annual Junteenth festival at 18th and Vine.
The Art + Agroecology project: AgroArt, nurtures creative community practices as socio-ecological intervention strategies, cultivating Black resistance: material, cultural and spiritual. AgroArt engages with artists working at the intersections of environmental justice, black agrarianism, and cultural healing practices for the development of strategies in building cultural and food sovereignty.
