In this episode, we dive into the world of speculative writing, art, and healing with ⁠Ama Josephine Budge⁠, a boundary-pushing artist, curator, and pleasure activist, who fearlessly explores the intersections of race, art, ecology, and Blackness in her interdisciplinary practice.

Common Ground began last fall and now continues in the growing season. We invite you to experience four newly commissioned works from artists whose practices engage with food sovereignty, climate change, and land rights. Their work gives us an opportunity to imagine together a more equitable, sustainable, and healthful future.

Common Ground is the fourth edition of the Fisher Center LAB Biennial, a thematic festival that invites and commissions artists to create new works that grapple with some of the most pressing questions of our time.
