The Cannery

space for its original purpose and spirit. I was also committed to building a creative community and activating the house for a new kind of exchange with familial gatherings among friends and neighbors. The idea of The Cannery as a Center for Creative Fermentation embraces the power of intimate exchange, conversation and creation as a catalyst for community building and collaboration. In a world full of inequality and injustice, creative voices are needed in all aspects of our life. We all have the capacity to imagine and create a more sustainable, equitable and compassionate environment. For me this can start at home; creating a space that reimagines the domestic realm as a place for public experimentation, exchange and skill building. Fermentation is a process of transformation as a result of agitation, unrest and excitement. This is the environment I seek to create; a bubbling up and release of energy. I invite your participation. Each month will feature a curated event ranging from live performance to conversations over brunch, presentations and hands on workshops. Each event will be guided by the question of how we apply creative strategies in our life for survival, resistance and transformation? This is part of my strategy and investigation. I want to learn from yours. Through this process, I hope we will learn from one another, inspire each other and build the collective knowledge and skill we need to create a better world… and have a great time in the process!
