about the event

the talks will take place across february with queercircle, a new london based lgbtq+ led charity working at the intersection of arts, culture and social action.

precipitated by capitalism and overconsumption, the balanced relationship between people and planet has been decaying since the industrial revolution. recently exacerbated by covid-19, brexit and the “cost of living crisis”, few statistics better exemplify the uk’s inequality than those detailing food insecurity – the inability to afford or access fresh, nutritious food. food security is dependent on a predictable climate and healthy ecosystems - without urgent and immediate action, climate change will further disrupt food availability, further reduce access to food, and  further affect food quality. over the month of february join creative cook safiya robinson, founder of plant based social enterprise sisterwoman vegan, for three conversations with her peers and collaborators using care as a lens through which to explore why and how we do what we used to do naturally, in an increasingly unnatural world.

all talks will be recorded and transcribed for the queercircle website. tickets are FREE but you do need to book a ticket.

28/2/23 - Shanice Bryce is the founder of oom:

What started as a one-off supper club in response to the effects of the climate crisis in Jamaica, oom continued to be inspired by how food could serve as a catalyst for connection.

oom's philosophical way of approaching creativity sees food, art, and design as an ecosystem – food being the sustenance, art being the environment, and design being the vessel.
