Event information
Cynthia Fan, Julia Martin and food writer Onezwa Mbola are in conversation with Zayaan Khan on decolonising everyday habits in pursuit of a more sustainable future.
Mbola is a home cook turned author whose writing links food to memory, culture and community. Martin is an academic and writer whose work often engages ecological thought and environmental philosophy. Fan works across art and craft, with ikebana practice informing her approach to material and place. Khan, who moderates, is a researcher and writer focused on food systems, land and indigenous knowledge.
The conversation considers what it means to unlearn consumption patterns shaped by colonial and capitalist systems, and how everyday domestic practices around food, craft and land use can carry political weight. Expect discussion grounded in lived practice rather than abstract theory, drawing on each panellist's specific relationship to sustainable living.
