“What flavors place, what place flavors?” P osed by Christina Sharpe in her book Ordinary Notes, this questio n lingers in the space between land and taste. How does place, how does la nd, persist even when territory fractures? What stories, histories, and ri tuals do we carry with us through food? Ingredients, gestures, and tastes become a living archive carried within and through our daily practices of making—kneading, fermenting, grinding, storing, carrying.

Using food as a way to hold and transmit knowledge, during this day of gathering we will come together to activate a newly created tonir-style clay oven and a small stove at Four Siblings. The oven was built during an earlier workshop in May with transdisciplinary artist Tatiana M. Mé lo. We will prepare food, cook, and eat together as a way to share knowled ge about food systems, forgotten recipes, and lost rituals. We will be joi ned by Martina Manterola and Carmen Serra, cofounders of colectivo amasijo , an intergenerational feminist collective who work across art, cooking, a nd land-based pedagogy. They will join us in activating the ovens through their own rituals, practices, and foods. Together with Tatiana we will als o be creating small clay structures and sculptures to bake bread inside of .

The residency with colectivo amasijo is part of the Exchanges prog ramme by the Prince Claus Fund, with the support of the Amsterdam City Cou ncil.
