About A Fertile Ground

All are welcome to come and sit round the table and share a bowl of soup as well as their ideas, feelings and questions about local food production. The soup will be made from local produce - soup being a universal dish, simple and sustaining, the act of eating together a universal activity. The discussion will be initiated by a speaker invited to each event.

The table becomes a platform to raise questions about our relationship to food and its means of production, and the gallery a space for recording and sharing ideas with a wider public.

Throughout the exhibition the space will remain set up as it is for the events and between events the gallery audience will be invited to contribute to an ongoing conversation about local food production. 'A Fertile Ground' will grow throughout the exhibition with documentation of each event gradually being added alongside a resource library and contributions from visitors.
