GARDENISM: Rooted in Red — Indigenous Plant Traditions & Seed Revitalization

In conjunction with Poster House's exhibition Designed to Be Red: Native American & Indigenous Poster Works , New York Restoration Project (NYRP) and Poster House will present a virtual fireside conversation on the relationship between indigenous communities and the plants that shape their gardens. Chenae Bullock, founder of Moskehtu Consulting, will join DK Kinard, NYRP's Director of Community Engagement, to explore how plants have traditionally been used within indigenous communities and how that knowledge, alongside seed revitalization, continues today. This program is free. A Zoom link will be shared with registrants ahead of the program date.
