A lecture performance that blends basic chemistry, ethnobotanical storytelling, home cooking, DIY remediation ideas, and a birds eye view of our (totally jacked) food system, artist and land steward Candace Thompson will share highlights from her ongoing research on the edible urban landscape. Using a mix of live and pre-recorded media via several common digital platforms, Thompson will also discuss her new role as Park Manager of Stuyvesant Cove Park, a two-acre public food forest in lower Manhattan, sharing the joys and challenges of fostering a public food commons in one of the country’s most densely populated and diverse cities.
