Copresented by BAMPFA, Black Studies Collaboratory at UC Berkeley, Museum of the African Diaspora, and People’s Kitchen Collective

Join us for a special screening of the People’s Kitchen Collective’s (PKC) documentary, EARTH SEED: A People's Journey of Radical Hospitality. The two-hour screening will be followed by a panel discussion with PKC cofounder, Black Studies Collaboratory Cohort Member, and most recent Museum of the African Diaspora Chef in Residence Jocelyn Jackson, along with another special guest from the film.

EARTH SEED invites us to envision and enact our collective future from a world awakening to its unraveling.

EARTH SEED follows a pilgrimage through California led by People’s Kitchen Collective. Journeying from present-day Los Angeles to Mendocino Woodlands, the documentary visits with people and places building models for survival and our collective future. The film invites us to envision and enact our collective future from a world awakening to its unraveling.

Rooted in Octavia Butler’s Parables series, the legacy of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, and the diaspora of the global south, EARTH SEED enacts radical hospitality as a survival practice. It does so by deepening our relationships with BIPOC activists, artists, educators, farmers, youth, and elders.

The EARTH SEED project is funded by Mellon Foundation, Creative Capital, Rainin Foundation, Ruth Arts Foundation, Headlands Center for the Arts, and individual donors.

EARTH SEED: A People’s Journey of Radical Hospitality is a feature length documentary by filmmaker Fox Nakai and co-lead artists Jocelyn Jackson, Hai Vo & Sita Kuratomi Bhaumik of People’s Kitchen Collective.
