Reflections from the MovingGround Collaborator Gathering:
As many of you already know, MovingGround is growing and evolving! In February, we hosted our first collaborator gathering. With local collaborators in person and distant collaborators on Zoom, we discussed our dreams for the future of MovingGround and ways to support each other. We are so grateful to collaborate with such talented and thoughtful community and we're thrilled to be expanding our collaborator team through many creative engagements and deepening of our work. Together we dreamed of a MovingGround future filled with merch options, wider Bay Area networks, scientist-led workshops, TED talks & performances, and more!

"Tierra y Raices" Closing Reception
FRIDAY, MARCH 31ST
MovingGround collaborators created an interactive site-specific experience at the School of Arts & Culture and the Mexican Heritage Plaza in relation to the gallery exhibition Tierra y Raíces. Encapsulating our senses of sight, sound, movement, and touch as we connect with the land, trees, and water, we celebrated our shared ancestry of earth and roots. This experience was made possible by SOAC and Works San Jose.

Meet MovingGround's New Team Member!
Moving Ground is excited to welcome our new Development Intern, Emma Quan Dewey, to our team! Emma is a Bay Area-raised dancer and choreographer currently based in Lisjan Ohlone lands (Oakland). She is an Emerging Artist in Residence at Shawl-Anderson Dance Center, where her work explores the embodied legacies of US empire in her Chinese lineage, and how these legacies interface with whiteness, assimilation, and citizenship structures within their Chinese and white identity. Emma holds a BA in Dance and Anthropology from Bowdoin College and has shown work at the School For Contemporary Dance & Thought, Dance Mission Theater, Bowdoin College, and with Dancing Earth Creations. Emma’s practice weaves together dance, oral history, archival research, and poetry, so they are thrilled to be supporting Moving Ground’s interdisciplinary and community-oriented work.
