We are excited to invite you to the opening ceremony of “UPROOT: BIPOC Visions of Our Food System”. UPROOT is a curated experience that will include sound baths, food, experiences, and art workshops, in addition to a community art show. Through collective envisioning of an equitable and just food system, this healing and interactive show shares the artwork, experiences, and stories of local BIPOC food leaders and community members.
