Cultivating Connection: KKC x Remagination Farm Pop-Up Launch
In September, Kapwa Kultural Center was honored to host the first in a series of pop-up collaborations with Remagination Farm — an inspiring regenerative farm and healing arts space rooted in ecological justice, ancestral knowledge, and collective care. Their dedication to land, culture, and intergenerational healing aligns deeply with our vision for youth, wellness, and community.

What Is Remagination Farm?
Founded by Dr. Robyn M. Rodriguez and Joshua Vang, Remagination Farm is more than a farm — it's a space for transformation, rooted in radical love, ecological healing, and cultural resurgence.
They practice regenerative and no-till farming, grow plants and foods that speak to their Hmong-Filipino ancestry (like ampalaya, eggplant, medicinal plants, and culturally significant herbs), and also steward native plant species to restore ecosystems.
Beyond agriculture, Remagination Farm is a learning center, healing space, and creative hub. They host workshops, arts programs, ecological education, and land-based healing rituals.
Remagination also openly acknowledges the land's Indigenous histories, collaborates with local tribal communities, and works to decolonize land practices — centering ethics of reciprocity instead of extraction. Remagination Farm
Why This Partnership Matters to KKC
At Kapwa Kultural Center, our mission is to nurture youth through culture, mental health, and community. Partnering with Remagination Farm brings several synergies:
Land & Wellness: Remagination’s emphasis on healing through land and nature resonates with our holistic wellness programming. Connecting youth to land can be deeply grounding and restorative.
Cultural Roots & Regeneration: Their focus on growing foods and plants meaningful to Filipino and Hmong traditions mirrors our commitment to cultural identity as part of mental health and community empowerment.
Creative & Learning Spaces: Their workshop and arts programs offer pathways for youth to engage in storytelling, ecological education, and ancestral practices — powerful complements to KKC’s cultural & creative offerings.
Shared Values of Justice & Community: Remagination’s approach to decolonization, solidarity, and collective care aligns with our philosophy of kapwa — that we are interconnected and feel responsibility for each other’s well-being.
Hosting a pop-up with them is more than a single event — it’s the start of weaving a bridge between cultural identity, land, healing, and youth empowerment.
What You Can Expect Moving Forward
Here’s what we’re excited to bring together in this collaboration:
More Pop-Up Events: Future activations featuring hands-on gardening, plant medicine workshops, land storytelling, and creative arts inspired by nature.
Youth Retreats / Field Trips: Opportunities for youth to visit the farm, engage in healing practices, land-based education, and ecosystem restoration.
Co-Curated Workshops: Sessions combining KKC’s expertise in youth mental health and culture with Remagination’s ecological knowledge — e.g., journaling in nature, plant-based self-care, community land projects.
Creative & Healing Collaborations: Art installations, zines, healing circles, and rituals that merge cultural narrative, land memory, and mental wellness.
Community Resource Sharing: Joint programming, shared networks, and expanded reach into communities that might not otherwise connect with these spaces.
A Growing Kinship in Action
The launch of our pop-up series with Remagination Farm marks more than a one-day event — it’s the planting of seeds for ongoing connection, co-creation, and collective transformation. Together, we hope to open new pathways for youth to see how culture, land, and wellness intersect, and how their stories are part of a living, enduring legacy.
We invite you to stay tuned for upcoming events, workshops, and experiences borne out of this partnership. Let’s grow with and for each other — rooted in kapwa, nourished by the land, and energized by our shared capacity to heal and imagine new futures.
