Machetes & Melanin is a visual, immersive experience for all ages, blending beauty with the realities of labor. Set against the backdrop of the cacao harvest season, this community event invites guests to showcase their machetes, indulge in African artistry and taste, and participate in the storytelling of Black bodies in labor for the benefit of consumption and capitalism.
Coming in Fall 2025, the event includes music, movement, art, food and activities across the acres of Carolina Farm Trust’s Free Spirit Farm in Huntersville, NC.
