The money raised goes towards our research trips. Together with our photographer Priscillia Grubo, we can visit Malvikaa on her permaculture farm in India, where she employs women in difficult living conditions; Noémie and Cassa in Senegal, who run a "women's garden" in which 100 women live; Arlene on her large rooftop farm in Toronto, where she supplies subscribers and markets; as well as many different women in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France. Priscillia will bring her artistic eye and capture our encounters, while we have conversations, accompany the women* at work and explore their ways of thinking and working. We will then write the book back in Frankfurt and the release is scheduled for mid-2023. Löwenzahn Verlag will be by our side for the writing process, support us during the travels and take care of everything beyond text and photographs.
10,000 € from the proceeds of the book will be donated by the publishing house to the two projects in India and Senegal. Each of the projects will be supported with 5,000 €.
If we are overfunded, we can realize one more stop: the trip to the indigenous Kogi people in Colombia.
Costs:
- Senegal: 6.000,-
- India: 5.000,-
- Canada: 8.000,-
- Germany, Swiss, Austria, France: 4.000,-
Fee Bernd Güßbacher (Crowdfunding-Movie): 2.000,-
Optional:
- Trip to the Kogi: 2.500,- per person
In case of significant overfunding, other „GemüseheldInnen“ who are men and women from our community gardens in Frankfurt can come with us on the trips (especially to the Kogi). In doing so, we create a worldwide network between the global South and North.
