What exactly do we eat when we eat a biscuit?
Join us on Anzac Day for a potluck picnic and taste workshop.
We will walk along the new 3km trail commencing at Gubbuh Gubbuh (Middle Head) on unceded Borogegal land (Sydney), NSW.
Ship biscuits and Anzac biscuits will be supplied for this participatory taste workshop.
Feel free to contribute a dish to the accompanying potluck picnic. We are especially interested in tasting different Anzac biscuit recipes, both commercial and homemade.
Soil Breathes | Sophia Dacy-Cole title
You are invited to commune with the local soils. These artworks were all made in collaboration with the soils I steward at Wamboin, a short drive from here. Myself and my workshop participants have used scientific tools as tools of soil communion and intimacy. We have used microscopes and microphones to connect with these soils on their own levels: seeing and hearing the world at soil's scale. We have used the simple tools of walking Country, and of handling soil, to gain a better embodied sense of connection with the soil. I invite you to join us.

A Practice in Parallel
