Adriana Gallo: Pasta Ecologies

A handmade pasta workshop in which participants will engage with pasta as a distillation of broader ecologies of both human and more than human labor. The goal of the workshop is to develop through practice a critical understanding of traditional labor and its embedded histories. Pasta or truly any traditional craft can serve to cultivate an awareness of labor that conditionally includes the landscapes and ecologies that produce the raw materials as well as the people who perpetuate the tradition. In the workshop, we ask how engaging with traditional food-ways produces (or re-produces) relations between individuals or between culture and nature. We will end the workshop by tasting our creations which will be vegetarian with a vegan option and will contain gluten.
