LA Commons, a project of Community Partners, has worked in neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles since 2003, facilitating artistic processes, open to all, that result in highly visible public art projects that tell dynamic neighborhood stories.
We Are the Harvest is a call to reconnect with the land, the harvest, and with each other.
Organized by LA Commons with support from Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide, We Are the Harvest is a community engagement initiative centered around uplifting agriculture, activism, and connection to land in South LA and beyond. Through spaces like community gardens, we can enhance mental wellness, reconnect people to the land, build community, and uplift local food production.
At this particular event at Compton Community Garden, practitioners and engagers lead gatherings such as guided meditation, a seed-bomb workshop, and a tea making session.
