Book Event! Belonging as Survival: Creativity, Activism, and Community (Free and open to the public)

Free online event CLICK HERE TO RSVP

What sounds inspire your activism? What flavors do you connect with your creative pathways? What does belonging feel like and how does it help us survive? Join us for an imaginative virtual event that engages the senses and explores the intersections between belonging, creativity, activism, and community. The evening is curated by Sita Kuratomi Bhaumik, a visual artist, food-justice organizer with People’s Kitchen Collective (PKC), and author of the forthcoming book, We Make Constellations of the Stars.

Sita will engage in a lively conversation with PKC cook activist Jocelyn Jackson, artist and educator Patrick “Pato” Hebert, and USC professor Adrian De Leon about creative pathways and collaborations, and how these intersections are integral to social change.

Throughout the evening, guests will be invited into Sita’s book process through interactive prompts. What constellation might we form together? After the event, each attendee will receive a kit inspired by the collective conversation.
