Facilitated by jackie sumell, The Abolitionist’s Tea Party asks, “How does the natural world endorse abolition as a strategy for liberation?” In this workshop, participants will circle up and engage with different plants and herbs, some of which are considered “weeds.” Together, attendees will learn how plants have played key roles in stories of resistance and share their experience and understanding of abolition.Free with Museum admission.
The workshop will offer participants the opportunity to smell and taste teas grown and prepared in collaboration with currently incarcerated people through Solitary Gardens, at The John Thompson Legacy Center in New Orleans. A list of ingredients will be made available at the workshop. Visitors with severe allergies are advised not to consume or engage with the plants.
Seating is limited; registering in advance is recommended. Advance registration includes admission to the Museum.
This program is presented in conjunction with Seeing through Stone, a multi-sited exhibition part of the Visualizing Abolition series.
