More Information on PKC: People’s Kitchen Collective (PKC) works at the intersection of art and activism as a food-centered political education project.

It is from this foundation that they create immersive experiences that honor the shared struggles of their people. They believe in radical hospitality as a strategy to address the urgent social issues of our time. http://peopleskitchencollective.com/ (Links to an external site.)More information on artist Jocelyn Jackson:Jocelyn Jackson’s passion for seasonal food, social justice, creativity, and community is rooted in a childhood spent on the Kansas plains.
