My grandfather had a kafenio at 16th and Folsom in San Francisco in the 1930s to keep the village alive in a bustling metropolis - but it was only for men. Now, as his granddaughter, Mary Jane, who has done peacebuilding around the world, I am reimagining it as a multicultural village in Silicon Valley- with women front and center.We do this by reviving the village traditions of hanging out over earthy Greek foods, delicious divinations & by curating and providing space for participatory gatherings around the arts, poetry, old village music, dance, storytelling & social change.
