Join us for a calming afternoon of art-making and conversation inspired by Fire Kinship, an exhibition that honors the knowledge and land stewardship practices of Southern California Indigenous communities—particularly the use of fire to sustain local ecosystems, including the region’s iconic poppy super blooms.
