Artists Linda Goode Bryant and Mary Mattingly explore artistic practice as fundamental to strategies for food sovereignty in times of increasing inaccessibility to quality sustenance and nourishing food systems. From Bryant’s living installation of Project Eats and the collaborative history that foregrounded her gallery Just Above Midtown as a vital site of artistic experimentation, to Mattingly’s waterbound food forests, which reimagine the possibilities of foraging in public space, both artists recognize the critical importance of resourcefulness through intimate and collective interconnection, with other artists and the natural world.

Their workshop engages a single plant as both a source of edible nourishment and the elements which can be used for creative material. This will be followed by a conversation thinking about the longer arc of their practices, which informs their approach to food sovereignty.
