Storytelling Workshop: Rooted

Paola Villegas uses the soundscape of birds, chickens, and city life to transport us to Cedillo’s Fresh Produce, a family-run farm in Englewood, Chicago, co-founded by Dulce Margarita Morales and Juan Cedillo. We hear from Dulce and farm volunteers who share an excitement for growing and learning together. “Rooted” is a gentle reminder of how the land invites us to connect with ourselves and each other.

This segment was produced by Paola Villegas for Vocalo’s Fall 2022 Storytelling Workshop. Vocalo’s quarterly Storytelling Workshop returned this Fall with seven segments produced by community storytellers, uplifting the voices of individuals who add to the rich cultural diversity of Chicago.
