2026 Art Meets Activism | (Mount Vernon) $7,700 for a women+ series of intensive theatre camps rooted in deepening relationships, understanding intersections in cultural context, and cross pollination between mediums. The work will be centered on the local mythology of Granny Chestnut: a magical being and giant puppet character developed through the Interdependence Community Parade that has sprouted and evolved since 2023. Artworks initiated through the series will culminate in a community-based interactive theatre, puppet, children’s storybook, processional, ceremonial seed planting and meal performance.
