a workshop series by Zeren Oruc
Curated by @zerenoruc, the project looks at how we eat our land, our cultural and emotional connection to food based on where it’s grown, and less extractivist practices such as disappearing knowledge of foraging, food banks, gardens, and more.
By using foraging and guerilla gardening in “community gardens” as one of the artistic and curatorial methodologies, the workshops intend to decolonize and reclaim urban landscapes and ecological narratives from the lens of BIPOC and people with migration backgrounds. While tackling mainstream Western environmentalism that dismisses indigenous and migrant knowledge, we want to relearn and share our knowledge in relation to the plant world and form new connections where we feel safe in nature.
The workshops will be guided by curator Zeren Oruc, horticulturist, forager, herbalist and Lea Nassim Tajbakhsh (@leanassim).
