For the project, the Walker Art Center has teamed up with Youth Farm, a local nonprofit that employs food and gardening as tools for social and community change. The garden is the brainchild of Des Moines-based artist Jordan Weber, who is currently in residence at the museum. Titled Prototype for poetry vs rhetoric (deep roots), itwill honor the four tenets of Weber’s practice: self-empowerment and determination; soil and air cleansing; spiritual reflection and meditation; and medicinal and food supply.
