Words Through the Grape Vine, a Community Project
Join us for a free community art project about those who harvest grapes. Vineyard Farm workers are struggling through labor cuts as an outcome of losses in the wine industry and climate change impacting the growth of grapes.
Together, we’ll make a grape vine that carries those stories. They’ll trace the history of workers in the fields and the struggle that continues now.
This event is part of Art and AgriCulture. Explore your relationship to food and agriculture, and the histories, stories, and traditions that shape the ways we grow, prepare, and share food.
