Juliana Steiner: Flood the River, Grow the Food: Embodying Food Systems
October 21, 2022, 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
This talk will focus on the work of Ecotone: Chagras, Payaos, Camellones, a program curated by Juliana Steiner as part of the Common Ground biennial, an international festival on the politics of land and food. By investigating and honoring food sovereignty and distinct foodways, Ecotone explores some examples of restorative and regenerative agricultural technologies in Colombia. The commissioned projects that comprise Ecotone strive to offer a meeting point where communities can share knowledge among themselves and with others, with the aim of learning and unlearning from the natural world. The talk will explore the manifold ways that humans inhabit and relate to a diversity of ecosystems across Colombia.
About the Speaker
Juliana Steiner is an independent curator, writer, and researcher who lives and works in between Bogotá and New York.

She is part of the collective Good to Know, where they organize curatorial projects such as "La Bodega y Más", a storefront exhibition in the neighborhood of Little Havana in Miami, where participating artists activated abandoned local businesses that once occupied each space.

Upcoming projects include a solo show of the Puerto Rican artist Jorge González in Bogotá as a result of a two-week field project in Santander, Colombia.
