SF’s “Landscape Is Homeland” Festival at Pier 15

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Indigenous artisans and community members as they share practices, stories, and food that are deeply rooted in the California landscape. Enjoy panel conversations in the Kanbar Forum and an all-day market featuring art and demonstrations on the Plaza. Come honor the Earth’s original care keepers and explore the complex bonds that Indigenous communities have with the land that gave birth to them.

Please note: All Landscape Is Homeland Festival programming in the Kanbar Forum and on the Plaza is free and open to the public. For access to the Exploratorium’s other galleries, ticket purchase is required.
