The Migrant Milpa Project (MMP)
The migrant milpa project is a community garden project just downstairs from Casa Itzatna. It will be a space for our neighbours and the BIMPoC community of Moseley, Birmingham to enjoy, grow our own food, and create art together. A "milpa" is a specific type of small communal field in Mexico that is cleared from the forest and cropped for a few seasons, where a local community frow multiple kinds of crops. This project is directly inspired by the Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata's phrase "La Tierra es de quién la trabaja" (The earth belongs to those who work it).
MMP will centre these kinds of BIMPoC ways of gardening and taking care of the land. This garden will be a general collective work, a self-sustaining oasis for ourselves as a small family of tenants/neighbours as well as a wider outreach in the local BIMPoC Refugee and Migrant communities of south Birmingham, and an act of resistance and visibility within a predominantly middle-class white-British neighbourhood of Moseley Birmingham.
