Sacred Larder

Sacred Larder: Uplifting the Histories and Memories of Traditional Food Preservation Techniques in the Black Community
Wednesday, April 19, 2023
Presented by the Black Studies Collaboratory at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, UC Berkeley
BSC Artist Fellow Bryant Terry will share his experimentation in arts practices over the academic year, which includes “Visual Food Data,” a series of research-based mixed media works, and “Sacred Larder,” a sculptural/social practice work that draws on the traditional food preservation techniques used by his ancestors to give us a glimpse into how they used food not just for sustenance but for medicine as well. The presentation will include a panel moderated by Terry with farmers Will Scott Jr., Kanchan Dawn Hunter, and Pandora Thomas as well as a live performance with Beatrice Terry, his mother, (as she embodies her mother singing) and Brooklyn-based artist Joshua Gabriel.
