In Sour Things: The Pantry, I zoom in on the idea of the pantry space of fermentation and preservation.
How does the pantry of the uprooted and displaced looks like?
How would preservation practices look when you are in a no-place, residing in liminality and in-betweenness.
How would your pantry space feel like, when the walls have one foot in construction, and the other in demolition? What would it say?
To practice fermentation you need to inhabit a place, but preservation can be practiced anywhere. Salt is hope, Salt is future time, that of a gathering when opening a jar of ferment to share is possible again.
