Join us at the East Side Freedom Library for a community screening of “Nuestra Herencia”, a series of short documentary films exploring immigration, personal histories, gardens, and legacy through the lives of 10 senior gardeners of El Paseo Community Garden in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. Connect with community, fellow community gardeners and supportive organizations as we celebrate the role that garden spaces play in our own sense of community and wellness.
This is film made by On The Real and Yaritza Guillen. Guillen is an urbanist, storyteller, and unapologetic optimist. Her focus lies in interdisciplinary practices, community-based design, and story mapping. As a cultural producer and community planner, she has engaged in various projects, including the Nuestra Herencia: Legacy Film Project where she documented the experiences of elders in her community during the pandemic and is one of the We Will Chicago artists whose project involved designing a weather adaptable pergola at South Merrill Community Garden. She also led an Ethical Storytelling Training for Environmental Justice Lawyers with the Environmental Defense Fund.
This event is free and open to everyone for the cause of solidarity.
This movie is in Spanish with English subtitles.
