The Cultural Food Project was a regular gathering space at the garden in 2024 to learn collectively about one plant at a time through land practices, growing, cooking, food preservation and mindful practices. We shared readings, recipes, explored folklore, cultivation and land ecologies from anti-colonial and non-western perspectives. Sessions were free but ticketed with spaces prioritised for Southwark residents.
In 2025 we’re continuing this work in new forms. The first iteration took place at Somerset House as part of the SOIL and Salt Cosmologies exhibition. Earth Tenders is a Cultural Food Project in itself!
We hope to bring this programme to different spaces in the coming season.
