In Conversation: Art and Resourcefulness in Chicago Symposium

(Moderator for panel: Reclaiming Ancestral Knowledge, Dismantling Structural Racism)

This panel addresses Black farming and gardening as the reclamation of ancestral knowledge and vital practice of Black futurity. It explores how urban agricultural practices can create conditions for justice-oriented community growth by working to dismantle structural racism. Panelists discuss the particularities within an urban environment of sustaining farms, community gardens, and their capacity to sustain health and materialize healing. Together these speakers engage the radical capacity of community building alongside issues of environmental and food access justice.
