Because the pandemic is making public participation impossible, I am offering a series of Zoom programs for sharing my hand papermaking process of creating an outdoor public art installation “Living Quilt for Sojourner Truth” at Sojourner Truth Community Garden, 7365 Gloria Drive, Sacramento, CA. The Community Garden is in the Pocket-Greenhaven area (District 7) next to the Robbie Waters Library and the School of Engineering & Sciences and the Sojourner Truth Park in Sacramento.
