The Rib Cage

the ribcage is a social playground, home to an intentional community. we are growing a compassionate, creative safe space. we do not exist in a vacuum; our efforts here are only one method for building the just and beautiful society we would like to see in the world. we expect our community to:
practice radical consent - ask first!
listen
foster communication
cultivate honest relationships
follow through and learn from mistakes
interrupt oppressive dynamics
try to understand how power and privilege work in our lives
grow aware of our boundaries and push open our minds~~~~~~~
make yummy foodz
the ribcage is a sometimes-public and sometimes-private space; navigate our home with empathy.

Project SERES
www.projectseres.org
SERES mission is to create a new generation of future makers, supporting the emergence of local leaders by educating and empowering young people to launch and lead environmentally sound programs. SERES work seeks to create impact by empowering vulnerable communities to address our most critical issues starting with the least likely source: the youth. As the voices of the future who will be left with a legacy of unresolved environmental, social and economic problems, SERES recognizes that engaging with and involving this generation is essential in the development of smart solutions that lead us towards healthy, thriving and sustainable societies.
SERES current focus is on youth and young adults in Guatemala and El Salvador, where there are 15 million people – more than 60% of the population – aged under 30 years of age. Our goal is to harvest this untapped potential and use it to create positive change for good.

Foodscapes
www.soulcocina.com
Foodscapes is a project that explores the journey of ingredients from seed to table by young leaders across the Americas. The journey is documented in live space through creative expression at events and within workshops using culinary arts, storytelling, dance, music and theatre. The journey will also be documented in virtual space through creative expression on-line via a web-series using video, photography, poetry, sound and more. We also record snippets of the sounds created on the journey (tractors, train rides, sizzle of oil on the grill, slapping of tortillas against palms...) to use as the sound samples to build the musical score/audio collage.

Any food leftovers will be donated to Pilsen Food Not Bombs
