The Utica project is led by the Mississippi Center for Cultural Production (Sipp Culture), the Town of Utica, and the Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center. The project powerfully focuses on telling stories, mapping resources, and prototyping solutions around food access. Together, these partners are deepening Utica’s rich legacy of rural self-determination and artistic voice through a city-wide food and cultural festival taking place in July 2024.
