SUMMARY:Seeds of Resurgence Community Seed Dinner
DESCRIPTION:At the second community dinner of the year\, the afternoon is guided by Aaron Samuel Mulenga and Nkondelina Chileshe\, a couple from Zambia—a nation nestled in the heart of southern Africa. They carry with them the spirit of their Bantu ancestors\, whose journeys across the continent shaped not only language and culture but also the food that sustains generations. Among their favorite traditions is Ubwali\, a humble yet deeply meaningful dish made from cornmeal. Known as Ugali in Eastern Africa\, Pap in the south\, and Fufu in the west\, this staple tells a story of travel\, settlement\, and resilience—echoes of the great Bantu migrations that began in the mid–second millennium BCE. \nAs we gather\, our hands and senses will trace the journey of the corn seed—its soft grind into meal\, its transformation through patience and care. In this simple act of making\, we touch the wisdom of generations who have listened to the rhythm of grain and fire. Through the warmth of Zambian cuisine\, the flicker of film\, and the cadence of folklore\, we enter a world where food becomes memory\, and memory becomes story. \nUbwali carries with it the taste of home and the echo of history—from family tables to moments of upheaval\, like the 1990 riots sparked by a sudden rise in cornmeal prices. In its quiet strength\, this dish reminds us that nourishment is never just sustenance—it is resistance\, identity\, and the heartbeat of a people. \n \nAttendance is limited to the first 20 sign ups! \nNkondelina Chileshe works as a corporate lawyer\, but her main interests are rooted in the use of public policy to shape a better Zambia and Africa at large for the community of under-resourced individuals. Aaron’s work as an artist and a scholar seek to preserve and share Zambian cultural histories of marginalized individuals. \nAaron Samuel Mulenga is an artist and a scholar whose work seeks to preserve and share Zambian cultural histories of marginalized individuals. \n\nThis event will be hosted at The Greenhouse Project on the UCSC farm\, at 152 Farm Rd.

SUMMARY:Heirloom Seed Keepers Study Session
DESCRIPTION:Farmers and gardeners have long appreciated a wide variety of plants and have nurtured them for meals\, healing\, and exchange. But diversity too often has been surrendered to monocultures of fields and spirits\, predisposing much of modern agriculture to uniformity and\, consequently\, vulnerability. Today it is primarily at the individual level—such as growing and saving a strange old bean variety or a curious-looking gourd—that any lasting conservation actually takes place. \nTo start building a common space of thinking together\, we’re going to meet up and discuss the first and third chapter of Virginia de Nazarea’s Heirloom Seeds and Their Keepers.  Nazarea studies seed-saving communities in the Philippines and the Global South\, with special attention to the way farmers on the margins have preserved biodiversity and cultural memory.  You can find the full text here.  We know that time can be scarce in the thick of the quarter\, so if you don’t get through all of the reading\, no stress. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be hosted at The Greenhouse Project on the UCSC farm\, at 152 Farm Rd.

SUMMARY:Seeds of Resurgence Cluster Meet and Greet
DESCRIPTION:Join the Seeds of Resurgence Research Cluster\, in conjunction with The Greenhouse Project (TGP)\, as they host a gathering where people interested in the cluster can meet and eat and do something together with their hands. Participants will also build a seed undercommons (as opposed to a bank).  Supplies will be provided.  If you have any seeds from past seasons you’d like to contribute\, please save them and bring them along. \nThanks to folks in TGP\, we’ll be able to add some seeds collected from last year’s harvest\, grown from seeds provided by the Palestinian Heirloom Seed Library. \n\nThis event will be hosted at The Greenhouse Project on the UCSC farm\, at 152 Farm Rd.
