Friday, 10/24/25 @ 6p-9p - Documentary Screening and Panel - POTLUCK!!
People’s Kitchen Collective collaborates with Voices Rising LGBTQ of Color Arts & Culture, and Sistah Scifi to bring their documentary, Earthseed: A People’s Journey To Radical Hospitality, to the Land of Enchantment. Led by People’s Kitchen Collective (PKC), their focus on art and activism as a food-centered political education project, is based in Oakland/East Bay Ohlone Land. The project is rooted in Octavia Butler’s Parables series and the legacy of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, EARTH SEED enacts radical hospitality as a survival practice. It does so by deepening our relationships with BIPOC activists, artists, educators, farmers, youth, and elders. EARTH SEED centers a pilgrimage through California from present-day Los Angeles to Mendocino Woodlands from March – June 2023. Join us in Seattle, WA for a screening followed by a conversation with members of People’s Kitchen Collective to discuss and share thoughts about the film, what is radical hospitality and how it can help us survive, and what’s needed in our communities.

**POTLUCK**
Being that it will be dinner time, we invite participants to bring a potluck dish to share. This is not a requirement, only an invitation. Notecards & markers will be available to be able to list what ingredients are in each dish. Or, you can bring your own food ingredient label.
