Earth Seed: A People's Journey of Radical Hospitality Highlight Video

CAAMFest is proud to be a community partner of this event held on May 19, 2024 with the People’s Kitchen Collective. A timely inquiry, if not its own urgent prayer, “What is the future of survival?” EARTH SEED: A People’s Journey of Radical Hospitality is a pilgrimage through California from present-day Los Angeles to the Mendocino Woodlands. Lifting up the people and places who are forging models for survival and a collective future. Octavia Butler’s Parables series, the living legacies of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, and the diaspora of the global south, serve as canonical wisdom for the frontlines of activists of color, artists, educators, farmers, youth, and elders who are dreaming, reimagining, and building survival practices for tomorrow.
