TBA21–Academy
Research
"Sapid Soil" is the second edition of Convivial Tables, TBA21–Academy’s active research program dedicated to the ties between food and ecology and the way these affect bodies of water.
Curated by Gaia Ginevra Giorgi with The Tidal Garden, "The Name For World Is Tide" is a performance that interrogates the politics of care for worlds deemed infertile. Through radical imaginative exercises, the walk leads the audience across alien farmlands that prelude to potential yet real worlds. There the emerged land is a specter of the sea; a ubiquitous salinity confuses genealogies, and the future and the past blur into a continuous now.
The ingestion of a fantastical Algarium as a closure of the performance invites a reflection on digestion as a geographic and conservation practice where amphibious landscapes and kinship re-emerge, persist and redistribute.

PROGRAM
"The Name For World Is Tide" is part of Convivial Tables: Sapid Soil, the public program curated by The Tidal Garden. It forms part of the strand of activities that contextualizes the culinary events in broader chapters on conservation and its policies. Developed by The Tidal Garden with artists and academics, these events build on the entanglements between humans and Lagoon plants to explore paradigms of care rooted in more-than-human perspectives.
