Oddkin Unite & Kinship Dinners
Oddkin Unite commissions local artists–musicians, poets, photographers, visual artists, and dancers–to create original work around a particular theme. We then organize intimate community gatherings for people to encounter this artwork, share a meal together, and engage in expertly facilitated conversation with the artist and other participants.​ The next Oddkin Unite gatherings will take place monthly between July-November of 2025.
​
Kinship dinners are occasional, informal community dinners where attendees share a meal and conversation around a theme.
Affordable Housing & Intentional Community
Kinship Plot is beginning the process of building an emplaced, intentional community that will include affordable housing structures, housing for interns, guest housing, and a common building that will support our practices of land-based kinship and rhythms of learning and welcome. Priority for housing will be given to people facing housing barriers with a focus on people “in transition” (returning citizens, immigration, domestic violence, homelessness) and working toward home ownership.
