"Free the Land! Free the People!" Community Gathering

Free the Land! Free The People! a study of the abolitionist pod

Crenshaw Dairy Mart (CDM) is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition, "Free the Land! Free the People! a study of the abolitionist pod," as part of PST ART: Art and Science Collide . This groundbreaking exhibition showcases CDM's innovative approach to addressing systemic issues through art, architecture, and science via a project called abolitionist pods.

Since its inception in 2021, Crenshaw Dairy Mart has been at the forefront of community empowerment through the creation of abolitionist pods: autonomously irrigated, solar-powered gardens housed within modular geodesic domes. These pods serves as symbols of resilience and self-sufficiency for communities impacted by food insecurity, housing instability, and the Pr*son industrial complex.

Alongside workshops on food justice, art, and healing justice, CDM's abolitionist pod project reimagines community care and demonstrates how art, architecture, and science can collectively tackle systemic challenges.

Saturday, October 19 2024

The second program of Free the Land! Free the People! a study of the abolitionist pod will celebrate and build on the work of food justice organizations, artists and community members and will feature workshops by our community partners CSU, LACE, Black Farmers meetups led by WOW Flower Project, Mobile Seed and Zine library by Urban Soul Farmer, and a chance for guests to visit the exhibit in our CDM Gallery.

Upcoming Exhibit Programming (RSVP Links TBA)
