Kaajal Modi United Kingdom
I am a multidisciplinary artist-educator mediating material engagements with food, land and water to explore the politics of how humans relate to the world through our bodies and our imaginations. I use fermenting, cooking, image making, live art, sound, video and creative interactions to create lively and situated encounters between people, organisms and ecosystems.
I am a multidisciplinary artist-educator mediating material engagements with food, land and water to explore the politics of how humans relate to the world through our bodies and our imaginations. I work with communities (social, cultural, microbial, technological, ecological) to explore knowledges on how we live well together in the present, in ways that can inform speculations about resilient and abundant futures. My practice is rooted in co-creation and embodiment, and incorporates listening, recording, remixing, moving, fermenting, foraging and gleaning to create lively and situated encounters between people, organisms and ecosystems in ways that invite critical reflection and action.
