Freeing the Land, Freeing Ourselves

In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to meet Native members of the Climate Justice Initiative and dive deeper into the Indigenous mural imagery. Then we will explore our own relationship to environmental justice and ways to include Lenape and other Indigenous people in our work. Participants will leave with direct connections to local Lenape tribes and Native organizations to deepen their own justice work. Featuring Felicia Teter (Natives in Philly), Priscilla Bell Lamberty (Natives in Philly), and Denise Bright Dove Ashton-Dunkley (Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation of New Jersey).

The Climate Justice Initiative is a collaboration between front-line organizers, activists, and artists, convened by Mural Arts Philadelphia. We use the power of public art to tell stories about the causes, effects, and solutions to the climate crisis in Lenapehoking (the greater Philadelphia region).
