Please join us for a free screening of the documentary "The Future of
Food" by Deborah Koons Garcia. This film explores the workings of the
modern seed industry and its impact on our food supply. It also looks
in depth at the alarming introduction and proliferation of genetically
modified seeds. 

Following the film we will host an open discussion to explore
alternatives to large scale industrial agriculture, seed saving and
exchange, urban community gardens and related topics. Come share your
thoughts and hear how the seeds of Not A Cornfield will be used in
future projects.

ABOUT THE NOT A CORNFIELD PROJECT
Growing in the historic center of Los Angeles, the Not Cornfield
project transforms an industrial brownfield site into a cornfield for
one agricultural cycle. Now the Los Angeles Historic State Park, the
site popularly known as 'The Cornfield' had remained derelict for more
than a decade. The project serves as a potent metaphor that provides a
focus for reflection and action in a city unclear about the location of
its energetic and historic center.
