Published on the occasion of the exhibition Free the Land! Free the People! a study of the abolitionist pod, presented by Crenshaw Dairy Mart (CDM) as part of the PST ART: Art & Science Collide, Los Angeles, September 21, 2024 – February 15, 2025.

This groundbreaking exhibition showcases CDM’s innovative approach to addressing systemic issues through art, architecture, and science. In 2021, CDM began prototyping and building abolitionist pods - autonomously irrigated, solar-powered gardens within modular geodesic domes - with communities impacted by food insecurity, housing insecurity, and the prison industrial complex. Offered alongside workshops on food justice, art, and healing justice, CDM's abolitionist pod project reimagines community care and models how art, architecture, and science can collectively address systemic issues.

The Free the Land! Free the People! a study of the abolitionist pod presents essays by some of the CDM staff and collective, as well as excerpts from some of CDM's collaborators on the abolitionist pod since 2021 as part of the ongoing oral history archive featured in the exhibition.
