Seeds A Collective Voice at Globalquerque! 2013

Written By Jeanette Hart-Mann

Here's a note just in from Jade Leyva and an excellent opportunity to join up with her and Seeds A Collective Voice at Globalquerque! This Saturday, Sept 21 at National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM

Hi all,

A note to tell you that Seeds A Collective Voice will be a part of the educational day program at Globalquerque! I am so happy!

We will be talking to people about three sisters, giving away seeds for kids and families to experiment next year with this form agriculture.

We will be working on a seed mural where the public will match the seeds colors to a pattern on a very large board to be glued on (see attached) This community mural project is in 4 sections to form an ecosystem. We will be doing the first one at ¡Globalquerque! and will continue with the following ones during different public events.

 I hope you can come by to this amazing event, it only happens once a year and it is off the hook! there will also be international dance lessons, workshops about music & culture with the night time performers, instrument building and lots more!

Have a blessed day,
Jade
