Kitchen Cultures: eating (as) ecology

Join us for an experimental sensory workshop where we will taste foods from around the world that are “cooked” through human and microbial collaborations.

As we do so, we will ask, what are the climates, critters and colonies (human and otherwise) involved in the production of our food?

Can we taste our relationship to these other beings, and in doing so, become more mindful of our responsibility to care for them?

By consciously digesting the products of climate colonialism, can we begin to bodily de-colonise our food web?

As part of the event, we will also discuss some of the material and metaphoric affordances of inter-cultural and eco-social practices of preservation, and invite participants to share their own practices of intimacy, relationality and care for our planet’s metabolic ecologies.
