Ashfield Rural Climate Resilience and Living Culture Project (MVP) Dinner

December 5 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

What does climate resilience look like for Ashfield?
The Town of Ashfield – in partnership with Double Edge Theatre, Ohketeau Cultural Center, and the Arts Extension Service at UMass Amherst – has launched the Ashfield Rural Climate Resilience and Living Culture Project to explore this question.The project’s goals are to:
  • Create new opportunities for local organizations, community members, and Town staff to discuss goals and ideas related to three topics in Ashfield: clean energy, nature-based resilience solutions, and affordable housing;
  • Identify avenues for community partners and the Town to collaborate on future projects and grant proposals to achieve community goals related to the project focus areas;
  • Grow Ashfield’s potential for creative collaboration and leadership on rural climate and community resilience in the region.
The dinner is an open discussion on the topics of:
      1. Affordable Housing
      2. Clean Energy
      3. Nature Based Solutions
Food will be provided to in-person attendees. This will be a recorded and live-streamed event.

Childcare is not provided, but will be reimbursed. There will be a reimbursement request sheet available.

Double Edge Theatre acknowledges and recognizes the Indigenous People – the Nipmuc and the Mohican, who have been present and lived on these lands for millennia, and whose travel and cultivation of this land we now benefit from.
We lift up the legacy of the countless peoples of African descent whose blood, bones, bodies, brilliance, and unpaid labor also built and sustained these lands.
Truth, reconciliation, rematriation, and healing will only come with acknowledgment as a first step, followed by cultural and economic reparations and other restorative actions.

On the platform of Art Justice, we build equity and solidarity with the deliberation and intentionality. This commitment includes the artists with whom we collaborate; the neighbors with whom we trade or work; our residency and training participants; and the consultants who helped to guide us. The mission / values / vision / work of Double Edge will always reflect the larger population of our region / our state / our country. Our people, our Ensemble, our collaborators identify themselves rather than being defined by others. Double Edge protects the silence of our internal space, while simultaneously ensuring that no one is silenced.
