With Altyn Kapalova, mapenzi chibale nonó (Las Nietas de Nonó) and Melissa H. Potter.

In year one of launching Monument to Climate Justice - Feminist Seed Bank, we traveled and connected to people from the Midwest Prairie to the Arctic to Central Asia and beyond to seek out plant-based practices that are historically cultivated by women. Together we're building a “bank of knowledge” that amplifies and monumentalizes art, medicine and spiritual tradition generating from a seed. We can't wait to share more and to hear from our collaborators who inspire, challenge and expand this work.
