Summer Foraging with Wild Soul River

Wild Soul River owners Rebecca Guanzon and justin adkins host a late summer foraging workshop inspired by Alison Pebworth’s exhibition Cultural Apothecary. Guanzon and adkins will provide an overview of ancestral knowledge and ways of the “honorable harvest” (a phrase used by Robin Wall Kimmerer) before venturing into the gardens and parks surrounding the MASS MoCA campus. During the program, you can expect to learn about native plants typically seen as weeds, and how they can be used as medicine. Sumac “lemonade” will be provided as a refreshment.

Registered participants convene in the MASS MoCA Lobby at 5pm

Come prepared to venture off campus, no more than .5 miles away from the museum entrance.

Wild Soul River produces a custom infusion for Pebworth’s Cultural Apothecary, currently on view in The Prow of The Robert W. Wilson Building (Building 6).
