Our Land Symposium
The Our Land Symposium is a series of talks, exhibits, and events to advance the broadening discourse on land ownership and farmland futures.
Due to recent world events, pandemics, and inability to travel, we do not currently have an upcoming Our Land Symposium scheduled.
Please sign up for our newsletter in order to receive future announcements about upcoming events.
Past Symposiums
OUR LAND 2016 | Tracing the Acequia Commons
In 2016, we gathered to explore topics of public trust, commons culture, acequia traditions, water enclosures, and new topographies. Through lectures, documentary films, open archive exhibits, and a walk along an acequia (irrigation ditch)–we learned much together. May the ditches flow for another four centuries!
Speakers and exhibitors included:
Mary Wood, Rick Prelinger, Kim Stringfellow, Tezozomoc, Sylvia Rodriguez, Miguel Santistevan, Devon Pena, Ruth Breach, Stanley Crawford, Emily Vogler, Ildi Carlisle-Cummins, Eric Holt Gimenez, Allyson Siwik, and others.
Thanks to our partners: Whitehead Foundation, Santa Fe Farmers Market Institute, Green Fire Times, Quivira Coalition, Bioneers, Biodynamic Association, Food First Publications, Rio Grande/ Northern New Mexico Young Farmers Coalitions.
