Speakers for the Living

The rethinking of our relationship with food should be rooted in a greater awareness of the entanglements of the life systems it depends on. And on a curiosity for what we can learn from the sustainable cycles that survived and thrived long before human dominance. What are the teachings from the beings around us and how can we become better listeners?

Our task is to develop the ambition, skills, and tools to understand their teachings and open ourselves up to the different, unexplored shapes that intelligence and creativity can take, or to the human communities who could speak on behalf of these beings. Because perhaps the fish or the soil knows everything. And the fishermen or the farmers could tell their stories. In the context of this project, they are understood as their custodians and interpreters, and called ‘Speakers for the Living’.
