Film Screening: Queer Gardening
June 25 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
What does it mean to queer ecology? To garden as resistance? To reimagine care beyond bloodlines and binaries?
Join us for a screening of Queer Gardening, a lush and layered documentary from filmmaker Ella von der Haide, who travels across North America meeting 2SLGBTQIA+ gardeners transforming soil, space, and social systems. From forest communes in Tennessee to rooftop beds in New York, these gardeners share how queerness shapes their relationship with land, lineage, and liberation.
Part of the visionary series Another World is Plantable!, this film invites us to rethink the stories we’ve inherited about nature—and who belongs in it.
