meztli projects' exhibition "Tobacco Embers" at Avenue 50's annex is an offering creating reflection points on the reciprocal relationship between peoples and plants.

The title of this exhibition is inspired by smoke as a sacred conduit between here and the spirit world and the plant offerings used in many ancestral traditions of honoring, memorializing, healing, and ascending.

This exhibition holds space for California native plants and their relationship to First Peoples, reminding us that these reciprocal relationships locally and globally are intertwined with liberation and self-determination.
