relationships to land
To curate work for the [Placeholder: Living Precariously] exhibition in 2023, the 2024 senior cohort pf Photography at Sac State, we took a series of trips (ten in total) around the Greater Sacramento Area and Bay Area, seeking people’s relationships to land. These are the photos I took at each location.
09.01.2023 — Oak Park Eggery, Sacramento, CA
3525 44th St, Sacramento, CA 95871
For the first trip, we visited the Oak Park Eggery in Sacramento. It is an urban chicken coup & composting operation made for community upcycling, disposal of food scraps, and access to fresh food in an area that would be classified as a “food desert.” As members of the neighborhood leave their food scraps to feed the chickens, they can pick up fresh eggs. (Unfortunately, since visiting in September of 2023), the Oak Park Eggery has since Closed.)
09.15.2023 — Native Plant Nursery | University of California, Sacramento
A garden grown on campus whose products are contributed to the university’s food pantry, along with other resources available to Sac State students.
