AE 2020 | (Berea): $7,000 to develop an arts and ecology program at The Pinnacles, which is a nature preserve in Berea, using multi-layered interventions (including research/experimentation, education, and creation). This will provide both formal and informal educational opportunities, create spaces for play and wonder, and build bridges across exclusionary divides by inviting femme and femme-queer artists of color to lead aspects of the programming as this process unfolds.

AMA 2020 | (Berea): $3,500 to gather stories and folklore about American Ginseng, create a puppet show, and offer Ginseng Sound Labs, a multi-sensory immersive experience of Ginseng’s medicine. This project will intentionally reconnect people from marginalized groups with the natural world in a way that may have been denied them throughout history.
