Speaking Bread – Relationships beyond materiality
Speaking Bread is a multidisciplinary research project which focuses on the relationships that emerge between human and non-human entities through the process of making artisan and traditional bread. The bakeries and special types of bread presented in this project are rapidly disappearing, and with them, part of an entire cultural heritage.
By documenting this phenomenon, Speaking Bread enlightens the importance of preserving the traditions; specifically the ways of working, relating, and creating through the craftsmanship embedded in this simple yet essential everyday product—bread. The relevance of this research relies on bread as the medium of material knowledge. It suggests exploring new possibilities in the human-environmental relationship, and questions our way of engaging with nature and the material world.
