food4thought (2023)
Food For Thought explores the invisbility/Hypervisibility of blackness through the use of agricultural products such as coffee, cocoa, sugar and hemp all rooted in slavery and colonisation. This project critiques the legacy and aftermath of slavery and post-colonialism, situating these ‘delicacies’ (agricultural bioplastics) as metaphors to highlight the ongoing trauma and effects of racism, neo-colonialism and capitalism globally.
