Food and Performance

Time: 59:33
Why do food and performance so often go hand and hand? Examining two unique projects, MABELLEpantry in Toronto and Embrace in Whitehorse/Winnipeg, this podcast interviews artists and community advocates about the essential role of food in their communities and practices. Members of MABELLEarts speak to a food pantry program that began as a response to COVID-19 related food insecurity. Designed as an artful, inviting and playful farmer’s market, MABELLEpantry provides community connection and affordable food to vulnerable community members. Winnipeg artist Hazel Venzon of UNIT Productions is also featured describing her project Embrace which weaves together cooking lessons, karaoke and stories of immigration. Exploring her own roots as a Filipino Canadian, Venzon engaged the Filipino communities in Whitehorse to understand what brought them to the Yukon and was surprised to discover that preparing food was a means by which to learn and share those stories.

Description

Exploring the intersections of art, community, and ecology, The Tidal Exchange is a podcast from River Clyde Arts in New Glasgow, Prince Edward Island. River Clyde Arts produces a season of outdoor theatre and art events that celebrate a vital Island community and the river that defines and sustains it. Inspired by the conversations that enliven the creation of our central project, The River Clyde Pageant, The Tidal Exchange hosts expansive discussions with artists, scholars, scientists, and community organizers on topics that influence our work. We examine curiosities connected to food, performance, gardening, puppetry, farmers markets and interspecies collaboration, researching what it means to create art and community rooted in place.
