Dear Friends,
YoloSol extends a fall season's greeting to all of you!
We are an intergenerational "artivist" collective dedicated to sharing stories of the pasts, presents, and futures embedded in the landscapes and waterways of the Yolo bioregion.
We center the voices and stories of marginalized communities, especially Patwin-Wintun culture bearers, youth, and the diverse immigrant communities that make up the Yolo cultural tapestry.
We look forward to working with you to cultivate ecological justice, well-being and restorative stewardship of our shared home.
