Children’s Discovery Museum Common Ground: A Seat at the Table, an initiative of Children’s Discovery Museum of San José Common Ground: A Seat at the Table is a creative space that invites children and families to come together to touch, hear, see, and share the multi-faceted stories of our diverse Silicon Valley communities. Through the entry point of food and cooking objects with origins in immigrant communities, this pop-up visual and performing arts installation engages participants in creating sculptures and contributing to a community poem. Common Ground: A Seat at the Table travels from site-to-site for six engagements starting June 2, 2018. Join us for this multi-sensory creative experience that features performances by local artists and engages participants in creating food sculptures, sparking conversations, and building community poems. On June 2 from 11 am to 4 pm, Common Ground: A Seat at the Table takes place at Children’s Discovery Museum, outdoor in Bill’s Backyard.
