HIDDEN THIRD PARTNER: IN THE COMPANY OF YEAST
28 September 2025
| Following the first workshop in communion with "wild" local yeast at the Art and Ecology Garden on June 23rd, this second session was dedicated to sharing the process of living, sensing, and attending to the sourdough starters participants had started collectively and taken with them in June, literally and/or symbolically. Through such focus, we were interested in nurturing greater understanding for the hidden partners that are central to life and cultivating a listening praxis that valued mutual recognition, interdependence, and cooperation inspired by bacteria. The last hour was open to the local community—an informal sharing and celebration of microbial companionship, new stories and connections that had emerged in the process, and baking bread together. |
