June is Great Outdoors month - Join Merrell for an outdoor screening of Expedition Reclamation by The Brave Space Project
About this Event

exists to share the simple power of being outside and we are looking to double down on that mission during Great Outdoors Month in Seattle to show that your movie night could take place under the stars, your work from home office could be a picnic table at Myrtle Edwards, or your dining room could be the lawn at Denny Park.

Come early and participate in our fun, engaging and educational outdoor expo all day starting at 11am... all for free!

About Expedition Reclamation

Expedition Reclamation weaves together a tapestry of voices from 12 Black, Indigenous, and women of color who are redefining “outdoorsy” and reclaiming belonging in outdoor culture. This story begins with an honest exploration of how BIPOC communities have always been connected to the land, but how through the lasting lineage of colonialism, spaces of outdoor recreation have systematically excluded them.

Our first chapter, “Homesick”, sees our characters reckoning with the reality of colonialism breaking ties to land. Moving into chapter two, “Expedition”, we see our characters rising up to reconnect with the outdoors and with their own roots. In “Reclamation” we revel in the stoke of finding belonging in the outdoors through resilience, healing, and joy. Finally, in “To The Trees,” we hear our characters’ dreams for an inclusive outdoor culture.

Emerging from these interwoven experiences is a rally cry to the outdoor industry: to re-examine our understanding of the history of outdoor spaces, to commit to what inclusion really looks like in practice, and to create a better outdoor culture – one that empowers every individual to reach their fullest potential as humans and stewards of this planet and her people.
