Join us for the final event in this amazing series! HEALING TERROIRS turns to healing practices rooted in place. Drawing on Indigenous and Black traditions, @maryyyprankster , Patricia Powell, Marlena Robbins, and Joanna Steinhardt consider the interdependence of plants, humans, spirits, and other presences.
Part of the series: Poetics and Plant Medicine, a four-part public reading and conversation series bringing together poets, experimental prose writers, artists, scholars, journalists, and editors working on aesthetics and psychedelic culture, co-curated by @slyouxng and @ramseymcglazer .
April 24th at 7pm.
Space is limited! Doors at 6:30. Come early if you want to make sure to get a spot.
