Food Culture Collective is an ever-expanding community of food wo

Food Culture Collective is a community of play democratizing food culture to feed our collective healing and transformation. We are food workers, culture-bearers, creatives, and co-conspirators who dare to dream of a future where our economies and cultures are shaped by care for the land, waters, and people to which we belong. Our community is united by a belief that food is culture and foundation

al to nourishing the systems, values, narratives, and everyday behaviors that shape our world. We use story, art, and experiences to disrupt a culture of extraction and exploitation and collectively reclaim and reimagine our relationships to food.

How might food culture help us feed our liberatory power in this moment?

In these chaotic times, we need spaces to be replenished, to organize in community, to practice mutuality with each other—to feed our liberatory power.⁠
⁠
Join us on March 5th from 11am-12pm PT/2-3pm ET, for Feeding Liberatory Power—a free and informal peer support call for our community to:

📌 share how we’re each responding to the attacks on our communities⁠
📌 share mutual aid asks and offers, and ⁠
📌 ground in how food culture can help us navigate the chaos with clarity⁠

We’re finding clarity in the fog of election season by attuning to the multigenerational stories of the places and peoples we call home. ⁠
⁠
“Our fights, our problems, are multigenerational, so our solutions must be as well. So, yes—this election is happening at a time shaped by colonization, imperialism, and fascism—but this moment is part of a story that is bigger than these destructive forces...”⁠
⁠
In this Journal entry, ’s Pui-ling Lew reflects on how rooting our actions in these long-arc stories we’re all part of can help us move with clarity and intention in this time of change and upheaval.⁠
