Un-Tabled
Starting this summer/winter FAR Network presents a new online peer learning series, Un-Tabled. These gatherings see artists in the FAR Network hosted by another artist to present conversations, screenings, readings and workshops which allow each person to offer an ‘un-tabling’ of their research practice.
The series connects and provides resources for our international platform of Food Art Research practices. Through Un-tabled we weave together threads of artistic research, ecological imagination, and embodied knowledge.
Each session runs for about 1h 30m-2h and they will take place once a month. Join us in our first Un-Tabled series for online gatherings exploring the rich imaginaries and practices that the members of our network offer.
We are ask for a sliding-scale contribution of between $3–$15 (AUD) based on access to funds. Your support helps us sustain the collective labor that brings this series to your table, including supporting the bare essential needs of the network. This will allow us to develop a small common pot for the future practice of the network. With 100% of ticket sales and donations going towards running the Food Art Research Network – website, events, organising.

July 5th - Celebration of edible wild greens, with Beatriz Paz Jiménez (MX), hosted by Joana Quiroga (BR)
We warmly invite you to an online gathering with wild edible greens! For our first session, Mexican artist Beatriz Paz Jiménez will guide us through relational ecopedagogy rituals, awakening our territorial pleasure through the tasting of edible wild plants. This will be a ludic and sensorial gathering, in honor of the wild behaviors and wisdom of these ancient beings—co-creators of our most familiar crops and silent keepers of deep-time knowledge. This participatory session will be hosted by Brazilian artist Joana Quiroga.
For millennia, edible wild plants have composted soil, enriched it, retained moisture, bioremediated damaged soils, healed the land, and modeled radical freedom beyond borders and mutual care beyond species—a living example of solidarity in its purest form. From an anti-colonial and multi-naturalist (Viveiros de Castro, 2010) perspective, Paz Jiménez invites us into three experimental activities. The results will transform into a digital zine, which you will receive the week after the workshop.
The session will be held on July 5th first in English and then in Spanish. Click below to know more and join us!

July 19th - Ecopedagogies conversation with colectivo amasijo (MX) hosted by Grace Gloria Denis (SP)
This iteration of the Un-Tabled series hosts a dialogue with colectivo amasijo and Grace Gloria Denis on ecopedagogies, specifically foregrounding colectivo amasijo’s land-based education project in collaboration with Calpulli Tecalco La Milpa, La Escuela.
La Milpa, La Escuela articulates a program that functions as an artistic, economic, political, and ritual project. A space where the pedagogical dimension of the milpa can be remunerated and reverberated. It seeks to recognize those who have preserved the milpa, as well as to re-enchant those of us who were born fragmented. Change the language of producer/consumer for languages of collaboration where we all take responsibility in reproducing soil and generating food. It seeks to listen to strategies, from different disciplines: from creative agents to legal advisors, in the collective care and defence of life. Understanding the strength found through collaboration to create new ways of inhabiting the world.

August 16th - Screening and workshop by Alana Hunt (AU) hosted by Meenakshi Thirukode (IN)
On The final in the Food Art Research Network’s Un-tabled series will be an online workshop and screening of Alana Hunt’s film Surveilling a Crime Scene, followed by an intimate and rigorous discussion with the artist facilitated by Meenakshi Thirukode. Key texts will be provided including Alana’s own writing and conversational texts with Mona Bhan, Ross Gibson, Chris Griffiths and David Newry, alongside essays by Evelyn Araluen and James C. Scott.
Shot on Super 8mm, Hunt’s film examines the materialisation of non-Indigenous life on Miriwoong Country in the remote north-west of Australia, tracing how contemporary agricultural practices, dams, tourism, and bureaucratic interventions form a tapestry of ongoing colonial violence within daily life.
