Episode 20: Foraging for a Future
How do we reclaim our natural place in the world? Join chef and journalist Andrea Blum and artist Kija Lucas for a conversation about their work on a new cookbook project about foraging and sustainable food practices. Blum and Lucas first met in 2015 at the Lucas Artists Program when working on solo projects—Lucas on Smolder, a body of work documenting the charred aftermath of California wildfires, and Blum on Biofabric, a series of decorative textiles grown from yeast and bacteria and colored with natural dyes. We’ll talk about their individual practices, artistic collaboration, culinary creativity, and how foraging can help us cultivate a more intimate relationship with our environment and an interconnectedness with other living things.
