The Politics of Rice: A conversation with Rassela Malinda and Jack Thompson

The Politics of Rice explores how rice can build communal societies, but also how it has been used through colonial and capitalist histories to displace local food cultures. Rassela Malinda and Jack Thompson discuss when rice fosters community and when it becomes an instrument of dispossession.

La Fiesta de la Chakra

‘AROUND THE FIRE’

Blakademy Art Program presents:

LA FIESTA CHAKRA - Winter Solstice Film Launch

▲ ▼▲ ▼▲ ▼

Colectiva Abya Yala in collaboration with Kathleen Gonzalez gathered to celebrate the return of the sun, weaving a heartfelt ritual to honour the land and its cycles. The winter solstice has been celebrated by communities and cultures from the southern hemisphere since immemorial times. The gathering weaved threads between lands in the South, intertwining ‘Sur-Sur’ dialogues. Through the sharing of music, food, thoughts, caring and intentions around the fire, they put together a meaningful offering to the Pacha Mama. In circle, they braided their hair as roots braiding themselves, as sisters from Latin America inhabiting unceded Wurundjeri Land, inviting voices from the land, as plants climbing up to the light.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗻

Bringing back to memory those days when we learned

That the land that gave us birth

it's the one to celebrate.

The return of the sun

ceases with the darkness.

Light inside of us

Light for our gardens.

The music is about to start

and the body needs to dance.

Through stories and prayers

flourishing in trance.

Gather for the harvest

and sitting by the fire

The feast has started

our spirits rising higher.
