WE ALL EAT DIRT:
STICKY LANDSCAPE

Participatory Food Performance in collaboration with Sarah K. Williams
Cantando Bajito: Convening in Chorus. Ford Foundation, New York. 2024.

Inspired by the nourshing properties of the kudzu plant, as it stores the plants nutrients in its tubular root network deep within the Earth’s soil, this performance imagines an edible landscape born out of kudzu’s roots. With “stickiness” made from powdered kudzu roots as the edible medium that glues all the ingredients together, this performance invites the audience to build a collective landscape together with both sweet and savory flavor profiles. We represent mountain, forests, lakes, and soil in this new production of co-creating food landscapes and enjoying the plentitude together.
