In autumn of 2024, a diverse crowd of artists, activists, and community members gathered at the New Parkway Theater on occupied Ohlone land known as Huchiun for a private screening co-hosted by the Center for Cultural Power and Movement Generation. Excited to immerse themselves in stories of climate justice, the audience came for the debut of two short films: Remembering Our Way Forward by Lily Xie and hija de Florinda by Shenny de los Angeles & iiritu, the latest projects from CCP's Climate Woke campaign’s "Create With Us" contest.
On this episode, we share a recording of the event, including poetry by Aniya Butler, artist panel discussion, and audio from both films, complete with narrated visual descriptions.
