Throughout history, breadmaking and other forms of fermentation have played a key role in the building of communities (both bacterial and human). Down to the etymology of the word 'bread', which has the same roots as the word 'companion', food sharing is a paramount and often overlooked aspect of community building.
In this afternoon event, participants will take part in a series of workshops and events on collective breadmaking, short film, and arts performance. We ask of one another, how can we find, build and feed community, and what role can food play in it? What does it mean to belong when kneading a dough becomes a political act in itself?
Studio CoPain will guide us on communal bread-making practices, bringing their expertise as artists and bread bakers. We will shape, decorate, and bake bread together.
Giath Taha's performance “Restless Dialogue” uses sourdough as a living medium to explore themes of displacement and political reality. A dialogue unfolds between the gestures of kneading and folding and the evolving wave textures shaped by sound artist Mazen Al Ashkar. Through this interplay, the performance evokes both ancestral care and sound tension.
