Description

Spotlight Sundays: Earth Seed Screening with People’s Kitchen Collective and Emory Douglas

Join us for a special gathering showcasing stories of survival and resilience through food culture and ancestral wisdom with People’s Kitchen Collective (PKC) and Understory. This event will begin with a screening of the documentary Earth Seed: A People’s Journey of Radical Hospitality by filmmaker Fox Nakai and PKC. Rooted in Octavia E. Butler’s Parable series and the legacy of the Black Panther Party’s community engagement strategies, this film maps the Earth Seed pilgrimage through five regions of California.

After the screening, we will gather in OMCA’s Garden where Jocelyn Jackson, co-founder of PKC, will lead us in a series of Earth Seed testimonies and spoken word musings by fellow PKC co-founders Võ Hải and Sarai Bordeaux. Then we will welcome special guest speaker, revolutionary artist, and former Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party, Emory Douglas, to share on the power of community collectives. 

Immerse yourself in their inspiring stories while enjoying nourishing food by worker-owned Understory, and play to win a curated “go-bag” containing unique pieces inspired by the Parable series. Radical Hospitality is a powerful strategy toward strengthening our interconnectedness. We welcome you to share in this unifying community experience.
