GREEN & GROWING

Since 2018, The Trinity Session has operated from The Orchards Project, in Orange Grove, a location laden with rich social, cultural, and environmental histories of Johannesburg. And much of our work for the City of Johannesburg’s #ArtMyJozi Place Making Through Art Programme (2017 – 2022) has been conducted from these premises. With the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic in March 2020, the national lockdowns that followed and witnessing the protests and looting that took place in July 2021; food security for average citizens came into sharp focus, highlighting a whole range of concerns, around basic nutrition, accessibility, affordability, quality and so on. The establishment of our Green Projects Programme, 2020-2022 evolved as an umbrella project combining a variety of practices in greening, growing, education, wellness, and mental health.
