Follow the Drinking Gourd

Join us Febr 7^th at 5:30pm MT for a viewing of Follow the Drinking Gourd, in celebration of African American History Month. We’re partnering with New Mexico Healthy Soil on a virtual viewing of this documentary film directed by Shirah Dedman, followed by a panel discussion.

The film about the Black food justice movement focuses on the personal power of gaining connection with our food. It communicates often touching stories of people growing urban food gardens and what the experience of growing and sharing that food with others means to them.

Following the film, a panel moderated by Sunshine Muse, Executive Director of Black Health New Mexico will include filmmaker Shirah Dedman, Saleema Robinson, Local Agriculture Community Coordinator for the City of Albuquerque, and Shahid Mustafa, Taylor Hood Farms.
