Valentine Cadieux bio page
I use my training as an artist and social scientist (with degrees in Visual and Environmental Studies and Geography) to teach courses on land relationships -- and to support public education programs through community partnerships such as the Art of Food in Frogtown and Rondo.
I also write articles and creative works exploring land relationships, especially about urban food land uses. I am very interested in how growing food near where people live can help people share strategies for re-building food systems to rely less on practices that exploit people and land, and that instead build health, community wealth, robust ecosystems, and social healing.

acknowledging and repairing
history, traumas,
mistakes,
colonialism,
exploitation
