Program purpose

Peanut is a retrofitted 90s city transit bus that hosts community-led gatherings and celebrations in neighborhoods and rural areas. This collaborative, mobile art space seeks to: facilitate grassroots relationship-building, celebrate the voices of often-overlooked communities, and reduce barriers to accessing innovative arts programming in Austin and Central Texas.

Peanut relies on hyper-local and collaborative partnerships within the communities we serve. MoHA forms working groups of local community leaders for each collaboration. Communities guide the planning of art experiences that are the most meaningful to them.

Through Peanut, MoHA seeks to highlight the unique, vibrant, and innovative creative ideas and cultural movements already taking place inside underserved communities.

-“Peanut” is a mobile platform to use practices of DIY community-building to create space shaped to serve the needs of hyperlocal communities. To create this space, a 90s city bus, “Peanut,” has been retrofitted to become an accessible and approachable hub for transportation between communities as well as a physical space to support conversations, gatherings and performances taking place directly within the neighborhoods Peanut seeks to serve. Because DIY platforms are built upon grassroots relationship-building, community outreach is as integral to our process as the performance itself. Peanut is an artist and community-driven collaboration that places arts and community in direct contact in order to celebrate the voices of under-resourced communities.
