Beginning Friday, March 8, Artist Mithusca Berry (they/them) kicks off their Innovators LAB residency with a new workshop informed by the work of Octavia E. Butler. Participants will create and decorate mini planters, plant seeds from the Barona Indian Charter School and Barona Museum and Cultural Center’s native seed bank and learn about the native uses of these plants.
This workshop aims to teach empathy and connect to local ecosystems, providing participants with seeds and care instructions to nurture their plants at home, fostering a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship and community.
Thank you to our partners at the ResMed Foundation who provided a grant to support this Innovators LAB artist residency, creating an opportunity for children to explore science and creativity in an exciting new way, working with their hands in the earth and growing something beautiful together.
