Hidden Strawberries

This project, funded by The Burt McMurtry Arts Initiatives grant from Stanford University, uses performing arts techniques to initiate a conversation and raise awareness about the environmental justice implications of California wildfires. We are collaborating with Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and local communities in Northern California to collect information about the impact of these wildfires on their lives. We are conducting a questionnaire from inmate firefighters, farm workers, and their families to do so.

Based on the information gathered from these communities, we are creating and will perform a play at Stanford University. The play will explore the personal experiences and stories of those impacted by California wildfires, highlighting the environmental justice implications of these events.
