About this event

    Staten Island OutLOUD celebrates the summer season and explores the writing of Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer, whose Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants focuses on a cultivation of a reciprocal relationship with the living world, and what we might learn if we understood plants as our teachers, from both a scientific and an indigenous perspective.
