Tending Sanctuary: Plants to the People

The plants we live alongside hold power. Herban Cura fosters healing justice through herbalism, teaching communities to restore relationships to land, ancestry and cultural lifeways. Join us to celebrate Plants to the People, a new book by Herban Cura, and learn more about foraging practices and herbs from the collective’s farm in the Catskills. 

Plants to the People (P2P) is a mutual aid project that occurs in public spaces in the Hudson Valley and New York City where participants enjoy free herbs and acupuncture. The book includes photographs and stories from the community that attends these gatherings. 

Tending Sanctuary: Plants to the People is a part of Toward Sanctuary, a series of programs exploring the cultivation of sanctuary as a living history and ongoing aspiration inspired by Guadalupe Maravilla’s artistic practice and upcoming Creative Time public art commission.

Events will take place at CTHQ and engage other spaces across the city, including a nightclub and an urban farm.
