Project Description

Building Madre Tierra’s Milpa (Mother Earth’s Corn Field) is a performance ritual created as a rite of passage for members of Mujeres de Maiz and their Woman’s Building Chicana predecessors to initiate all into a symbolic home or homeland solidifying generational ties among the artists and groups and honoring the living legacy of the Woman’s Building. The private ritual happens offsite; documentation will be exhibited
