Food Pedagogies Statement

This short film serves as a companion to the Responding to Ecological Challenges with/in Contemporary Childhoods Colloquium's Food Statement. It offers an interpretation of the food encounters that took place at the Colloquium on January 31 - February 2, 2020; and bears witness pedagogical designs and speculations, metaphoric resonances between the kitchen and the table, and tangled food relations. The film integrates imperfections, openings without closings, and unestablished video-making protocols. Serving as a conduit for rethinking/reconfiguring food pedagogies, it complicates assumptions about visuality and visualization.

"Taking food with and holding it on labouring hands acknowledge the soil in which the food has grown, and the histories and silenced presences of the land. The pamba mesa is first and foremost an act of conviviality"
"In an age where sharing images of food has emerged as a unique facet of contemporary culture, this exhibition offers a look at the timeless ways in which things we eat shape us and our perceptions of the world"
"In an age where sharing images of food has emerged as a unique facet of contemporary culture, this exhibition offers a look at the timeless ways in which things we eat shape us and our perceptions of the world"
"Jerk is a philosophy then formed as the result of an alternative ecology of Black sociality, wilderness, and spicy livingness beyond colonial property and possession"
"The potential of the “Dinner 2040” design lies in its invitation for community-wide examination of and movement towards aspirational food practices of the future. We believe it is in the interest of all communities to examine the future of our food production and consumption practices"
"Do not say “fat but healthy,” “fat but working on it,” “fat, but not, like, 400 pounds,” or “fat but happy.” If you’re taking a stand for fat people, take a stand for all of us. Do not limit our humanity by limiting who among us you will accept. Just say fat. Notice the impact of the word, how it changes in your mouth over time. Notice where you feel it in your body, and how. Is it tension? Fear? Or something else altogether?"
"The star of this story is the ‘organic child’: an imagined pure child who is shielded from risk through careful feeding practices. The organic child ideal suggests that children are best protected through the (conscientious and expensive) practices of parents, and especially mothers"
