Going to Seed explores grief and feelings of powerlessness in the face of climate change and the intractable systems that keep solutions at bay. Going to Seed shifts 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 projects around restoring Milkweed and Pollinator plants to our yards and green spaces, Going to Seed supports a collective sense of hope not founded in false optimism but grounded in the power of our shared Earth, celebration, connection and each other.
