Eating the World
2025-2029

This Formas EXPLORE (2025-2029) project, based at Linköping University (SE), explores food and eating through artistic practices. Eating is how the world moves through us (Mol 2021), making food a material contact point with urgent questions of consumption, identity, climate change, (natural)cultural differences, pollution, interspecies entanglements, and, of course, food precarity and sustainability. How, what, and with whom we eat is how we negotiate with our own bodies and those of others. 

The project explores how arts-based methods might generate embodied and situated knowledges about the complex, and often vulnerable, set of relations that we participate in every time we eat. Taking a feminist posthumanities/environmental humanities approach, eating is understood not as an individual act, but as participation in global networks of pollution, under-/overconsumption, climate change, soil, waste, rot, species loss, and bodily health. Eating is always eating together. As we learn to live on a damaged planet (Tsing et al 2017), we might ask: who is sustainability for (Alaimo 2012)? What are we seeking to sustain? And what arts of eating might help us live the “good life” together?
