Lake Street Arts! Going to Seed kick off event

Pangea World Theater’s placekeeping program Lake Street Arts! is beginning a multi-year cycle of programming called Going to Seed — Renewal in a Time of Climate Change.

Going to Seed will support people around their grief and feelings of powerlessness in the face of climate change and the intractable systems that are keeping solutions at bay. This support will be grounded in focusing on what we can do to shift the narrative about where we are coming from, where we are now and importantly where we are going. Using theater, story circles, and a large-scale public art project around restoring Milkweed and Pollinator plants to our yards and green spaces, Pangea will support a collective sense of hope not founded in false optimism but grounded in the power of our shared Earth, celebration, connection and each other.

Join us for poetry, songs, ritual and take part in a story circle about your own vision for renewal and healing. We will dedicate our future Pollinator Garden to Ojibwe Artist, Jim Denomie, and each of us will plant our commitment to renewal. What a time of challenge and possibility we are in, come be in good company and add your voice to this project.

Going to Seed is being designed and implemented by Pangea World Theater in collaboration with the Dakota writer and educator, Diane Wilson, The Indigenous People’s Task Force — Ikidowin Youth Theater Ensemble, Mudluk Pottery, and Longfellow Rising.
