Conference: Together for ‘Navire Avenir’ with Sébastien Thierry

For its second edition, Grace Gloria Denis will partake in AFIELD’s digital residency, exploring sensorial pedagogies in an engagement with food systems, delving into two iterations of her series ‘Aural Oral’ that examine fermentation.

Grace Gloria Denis’ work converges agricultural research with interactive installation, braiding together edible matter and sound to propose a convivial and comestible approach to critical inquiry. Implementing the meal as both a medium and a pedagogical tool, her work refers to participatory action research models, engaging in collaborations with actors in local food systems utilizing agroecological techniques. Her work considers the quotidien interaction with the esculent realm as a poetic tool of transmission, inviting a reimagination of sensorial relationships to consumption practices that prioritize reciprocity.

During the residency, ‘Aural Oral’ examines the notion of consumption as an act that traverses beyond the realm of edible ingestion, deviating from the mouth as the epicenter. In consideration of the numerous methods in which we consume, the series examines the perpetual ingestion of matter, energy, labor, and resources.

In which ways do we consume our environment, and is it primarily embedded with intent solely to receive? How do we model a system less predicated upon the root “to take” and further marinate it with the possibility “to give”? A meal as a space to nurture an inquiry into food systems provides a site for the propagation of Tsing’s arts of noticing, that is, our acknowledgement of entanglement.

These will be some of the open questions we will try to explore within the space of AFIELD’s Instagram account.

This collaboration is part of a #AFIELDdigitalresidency highlighting artistic and social initiatives around the world.

This new program seeks to highlight the talented artistic and social projects happening all over the world. Robida is a cultural association and collective of researchers, architects, designers, artists and activists based in Topolò/Topolove, a small village of 25 inhabitants on the border between Italy and Slovenia.

The collective works with multidisciplinary approaches to various projects rooted in Topolò or that take Topolò as a starting point for reflections and actions. Robida operates at the intersection of written and spoken words and spatial practices, carrying on for almost ten years a multilingual magazine, a community radio, its own Academy of Margins and actions of care on the nature-culture that surrounds the village, beside constantly reflecting on new possible ways of inhabiting the village and its landscape.

In the coming weeks, Robida collective will introduce itself as AFIELD’s first digital residents, exploring its genealogy and its inspirations and researching in its archives. The collective will share references, foundational concepts, and vernacular which became meaningful for the work in Topolò, still open questions and photographs.

What knowledge can we collect from abandoned micro-landscapes, the stream, the young humble forest, the fallen fruit trees, covered by brambles but still blooming? What do ruins teach us? How to stay in the in-between of stasis and fluidity that characterizes margins? What methodologies can stem from the hyper-local context Robida is producing the magazine from? How to remain porous, to make-with and think-with landscapes? These will be some of the open questions we will try to explore within the space of AFIELD’s Instagram account.
