Germination Necklaces w/. Nemlings

festival:festival 2018

Although plant-products provide us with the raw materials for our food, medicine, energy, and shelter, modern life makes it easy to feel disconnected from plants themselves. Join the Nemlings – scientists from Jennifer Nemhauser’s lab at the University of Washington – in creating living necklaces that will remind you of our close connection to plants. We will discuss what we love about plants, their many mysteries, and how they inspire our research!

This workshop is FREE.

VISION
festival:festival is a presenting platform focusing on Seattle artists and practices that engage with intersectional structures and identities.

MISSION
Our mission is to create vibrant spaces through creative frameworks of empowerment, healing, and intentionality with the goal of building a sustainable and accessible arts community.

STRATEGY
festival:festival brings together and celebrates live music, performance, theatre, dance, visual arts, panel discussions, workshops, and other creative presentations removing the barriers that often separate the arts into genre-specific venues and programming.

EQUITY
Artists and cultural workers produce vital cultural services with reduced or even no financial support. Seattle, as one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, perpetuates an ever-growing endemic of economic inequality. The burden falls disproportionately on historically exploited communities. At festival:festival, we are dedicated to presenting, supporting, and investing in artists and cultural workers from these communities.
