Ground Truthing
Hives for Humanity
On the 100 block of East Hastings in what is colonially known as Vancouver, British Columbia, and which has many other names, including K’emk’em’elay, the Place Where the Maples Grow, the unceded lands and shared territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil Wau’tuth Nations since time immemorial, time out of mind - there is a garden. It is from here that we explore themes of community care, sensory respite, ground truthing, growing governance and ask: beyond survival, beyond isolation - What is 'enough'? What helps in the struggle? What can we accomplish in a season? In a year? In a lifetime? And, how might we envision a world beyond capitalist exploitation? Beyond policing?
