Food & Memory hosted by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk
March 6 - March 8
Food & Memory, hosted by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk, the third and final conference of Rethinking Place, aims to explore food systems, agricultural practices, and culinary histories as a point of entry into place-making past, present, and future.
The conference brings together agricultural workers, chefs, food systems scholars, and artists to create fertile ground for interdisciplinary discussion. Situated on the banks of the Mahicantuk (Hudson River) in a time when current food systems, planetary health, and direct violence pose existential threats to the sovereignty and wellbeing of many, Rethinking Place aims to center a diverse range of voices and histories that have touched and formed the current agricultural region of the Hudson Valley and beyond, including Lucy Grignon, Vivian Sansour, Jalal Sabur, Kenny Perkins, Tara Rodriguez Besosa and many more.
Save the date for March 6-8th at Bard College. Some presentations will be recorded and made available following the conference. We hope to see you there!
