Headlands Artists Pop-Up

Where
Headlands Center for the Arts
Price
Free

Visit as current artists-in-residence and fellows open their studios for public viewing, and stay for a very special screening of People’s Kitchen Collective film, EARTH SEED. 

Led by People’s Kitchen Collective, EARTH SEED centers a pilgrimage through California from present-day Los Angeles to Mendocino Woodlands that happened from March – June 2023.  They visited with people and places building models for survival and our collective future. 

Rooted in Octavia Butler’s Parables series, the legacy of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, and the diaspora of the global south, EARTH SEED enacts radical hospitality as a survival practice.  It does so by deepening our relationships with BIPOC activists, artists, educators, farmers, youth, and elders.
