In solidarity with the Native Mapuche political prisoners in Chile.
The Hearth, central to a home, provides warmth, light, food and protection. It symbolizes the home. Living in an industrialized, colonized, modern society, it is easy to forget what is central to human connection and vitality. We forget that also central to our existence is the health of Mother Earth, our home. We offer this experience to return to what’s essential with a cooking class with Lonko Juanita Millal and a film screening and community talk back of “Ragko” with Director, Javier Tavolari. Our goal is to awaken our ancestral spirit – the one who lived with great reverence to Mother Earth (Spanish/English translation will be available).

Lonko Juanita Millal has dedicated her life to uplift Mapuche culture, protect the land, waters and the people, creating solidarity among marginalized communities and bringing awareness of the Mapuche peoples’ present day fight against colonization, displacement, incarceration and violent repression.
Javier Tavolari is a Chilean Artivist. Dedicated to the Mapuche cause, he finds in San Francisco the people and the spaces to make KIÑE, their first episode. This process is crucial due to the intricacy of speaking about the Mapuche struggle in Chile, a country that calls them terrorists.
