Sophie and Shreya are working and thinking together. Trying to find ways to contextualize and present swathes of research and information. They are motivated to co-create these shifting shapes with a public/audience, in dispersing and digesting various knowledges, connecting thought and form in the process.

These attempts and conversations have resulted in their offering - ‘Bread Buffet’. An ongoing methodology which takes various models according to a theme. Through workshops, zines, reading groups and experimental performances we collage and interweave theory, art, fiction, contemporary events and visual material.

Our first ‘Bread Buffet’ was for Ode Aan de Linge Land Art Festival 2024, as part of Anna Celda’s, “a concept is a brick”. Celda created an installation of heavy bread bricks: an open circle, a beginning, a ruin, a remnant, a wall. With ‘bread’ as our jumping off point, we brought together research on theories of labor, acts of land grabbing, commercial food production, the phenomena of ‘food aid’, folk stories, myths, productivity, and so much more. Included in the buffet was a source list of all the extracts.

(some formal inspirations; piles of things, many web-pages saved over long periods of time collected in loosely themed folders & sub-folders, bouldering, buffets/bring a dish, tarot, quilting, sauce, soup, slime, bags)
