	SMELLSCAPE: RHYTHMS WITH BOKASHI

	SOIL: The World At Our Feet - Curatorial text:
Fatima Alaiwat’s sensuously interconnected map works as a kind of recipe or, as she calls it, a ‘smell score’, reflecting her practice of composting orange peels using a fermentation process known as bokashi. By concentrating on her sensory awareness, Alaiwat developed an intimate knowledge of and responsiveness to the technique and the physical matter before her. This sensory intimacy created a space in which complex emotional states intertwined with the practical acts of slowly and responsively improving the quality of soil. The process was underpinned by interdisciplinary writer and researcher Maria Puig de la Bellacasa’s point that ‘what soil is thought to be affects the ways in which it is cared for, and vice versa, modes of care have effects in what soils become’.Fatima Alaiwat’s sensuously interconnected map works as a kind of recipe or, as she calls it, a ‘smell score’, reflecting her practice of composting orange peels using a fermentation process known as bokashi.

A recipe, or rather a smell score, for composting oranges with bokashi. Exploring transmissions of intimate and sensous knowledge.

	SENSES RISING

	

	
		
		
	
	
		
			
				
					
						A participatory workshop exploring fermentation
as a catalyst to discursive entry points such as
quiet modes of resistance, global food systems,
rewilding, and collective resilience and healing.
Focusing on sourdough bread (bread being a sacred and staple food in Morocco), I led
participants through various activities including
attuning to bacterial ‘communication’ at different
stages of activity through smell and touch,
guided eating meditation, collective kneading,
bacterial recipe-making and a trip to one of the
few remaining communal ovens in the walled city
where we baked a communal loaf of bread.

						
How can slower communal approaches enable us
to embed wildness back into what has become
an increasingly industrialised process? How, for
example, can we relearn and preserve networks
of communality within baking through guerilla
modes of collective bread-making, that allow us
to enter into new modes of resistance as well as
belonging with and as part of nature?

	POETRY, PHYSICALITY, PROVENANCE
( THE DINNER ART PROJECT )

	

	
		
		
	
	
		
			
				
					
						











A tasting event, in collaboration with Barney Bau, commissioned by hARTSlane Gallery. 
Featuring two ingredients kindly donated from local allotment plot holders: tomatoes, leeks, creating 3 different dishes with the same ingredients. 


This event explored different ways of activating food and eating as practise for developing intimacy in ingestion. Thinking with each moment of eating as an opportunity to connect, inquire and negotiate with food as it mingles with our bodies and nourishes us. 


Each hour, a new ‘dish’ was served, prompted by different themes: Poetics (the reading of a sensorial poem, and inviting people to write memories, events, people and places that flavours evoked), Physicality (inviting people to eat with their fingers, led through a guided meditation of mindful eating), and Provenance (dried seeds from the very tomatoes used in the dish were offered to guests/eaters)

Dover sea salt)


	The composition of minerals and salts in seawater is very similar to that of amniotic fluid. The ocean is an ancient womb, body, border, passage and archive.

This work is a meditation and investigation on the ocean in relation to separation, belonging, and planetary connectedness. A DIY process of extracting salt from seawater collected in Dover (a border, a passage, an archive) is linked with the preparation of a family gratin recipe. By personally gathering seawater, as well as preparing food and ingesting it, my body performs the past and/in the present, whilst becoming part of the landscape and part of a recipe.

	SALT BETWEEN US
	
The place I was is not here
Phantom dirt, foreign gravity
There is water between us

Dismembered elements
scattered in waves
ancient womb calls
to sorrow and surrender
Cooking hands in place

they are our hands too
mingled in gestures
flowing through veins like roots 
There is salt between us
Mist in the air
Salty skin
Constant
rhythms in transit
Flowing within us
An old Arabic proverb directly translates to ‘there is bread and salt&#38;nbsp; between us’. Sometimes referenced with ‘there’s salt between us’ or ‘there is bread between us’. Refering to an old tale of a deep bond and kinship between two people who have shared in bread and salt.

	BEDROOM BREAD
	
Part of a series of work exploring cultural imprints and intimate portraits through cycles of bread-making in my bedroom. Cooked in a tagine.
A 3-month residency cycles ended with a public food event and performance kneading next day’s bread.
