IU: TAKAAT (of Mdou Moctar), Microbes Mostly, Red40

TAKAAT (pronounced tuh-cot), meaning “noise” in the Tuareg language Tamashek, is the trio of Ahmoudou Madassane, Mikey Coltun, and Souleymane Ibrahim, also known as the rhythm section of Mdou Moctar. TAKAAT is sonic chaos, improvisation, freedom of exploration, and the punk styles of bands such as Fugazi and Unwound, all mixed together with the guitar music from the Sahel.

Cash Bar & Food

Bring home seeds to sow resilience in your community as we cultivate gift culture together! After 12 years of growing regionally adapted seeds for sale, Fruition now grows hundreds of vegetable, flower and herb seeds to share as gifts. Like these seeds, we trust generosity amplifies abundance in the world. In this spirit, we invite you to practice giving and receiving seeds differently than you’ve ever experienced before. As we (un)learn mindsets of scarcity and receive the extraordinary abundance of seeds, we invite you to join our beautiful, reflective, joyful and transformative ~1 hour experience where we will laugh, play, practice the hard work of receiving beyond transaction and perhaps even shed a tear or two.

Gift (Free) Event!

Wondering how to thank us & sustain this work and joy alongside us?
