Pagarat, Earth Day Fundraiser

Pagarat! Join us in an Earth Day fundraising with robust dialogue, film and music participation: become literate in regional liberation heritage and honor Wangari Mathai and Fannie Lou Hamer. Their Eco-cultural world saw nature and people as one relevant presence: much more than industrial fodder. Chattel enslavement, the engine of tour industry fantasy nostalgia, is neither attraction nor amusement. Maroons, Seminole and other rebels—fought soul crushing land of the free—home of the slave hypocrisy. They carried their daily necessities in baskets called Pagarat. The WWS recreates these eco-sustainable wares honoring the agency of those remarkable freedom loving zealots.
