Description

Over a communal meal, Malaika will share her research on the role of performance and food in building a deliberative political culture. This research is based on the premise that democracy is key to facing the wicked problems of our time – perhaps most importantly that of sustainable transitions, and that the arts has a key role to play in strengthening and deepening a democratic culture. Drawing on case studies from her own practice, Malaika will explore the democratic opportunities and limitations afforded by participatory performance installations and food-based events.
