Honorable Harvest
Grow Good, Usal
Food by Biri Bibi
What does reciprocity between humans and the natural world look like? The Honorable Harvest reminds us to view our land and its gifts as kin rather than mere resources. What if we fill our baskets with only what is needed, share what we can share, and give something back in return?
Inspired from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’—we explored what kinship means with the plants and food we eat daily.
And through a playful sensory experience, felt and tasted kinship through the lens of maize in its indigenous essence. Known by the peoples who first grew it as “The Bringer of Life” and “The Mother of All Things.”
Presented with:
Grow Good
A non-profit ecologically integrated farm growing food that directly feeds the adjacent Bell Shelter residents towards health, healing and connection.
