Grace Gloria Denis’ work converges agricultural research with interactive installation, incorporating edible material, sound, and image to propose a convivial and comestible approach to critical inquiry. Implementing the meal as both a medium and a pedagogical tool, her work refers to participatory action research models, engaging in collaborations with actors in local food systems. Her work considers the meal, or quotidien interaction with edible matter, as a poetic tool of transmission, inviting a reimagination of sensorial relationships to consumption practices.

Murmurs presents a dinner honoring concepts of Kansha and Gratitude, featuring Eden Batki, Grace Denis, and Noon Tran.
This four-course vegetarian meal with drink pairings celebrates seasonality through ephemeral edible installations and dishes,
featuring locally produced ingredients and recipes from the book In, From, and With.
︎
Excerpt from the book:
“The word kansha translates directly from Japanese to gratitude.
It is a lineage of cooking that implements the entirety of the produce,
including stems and skins, leaving no waste.” – Eden Batki
︎
Cocktails by Yola Mezcal.
Dinner will be served outdoors in the Murmurs garden.
All seats come with a printed takeaway including select contributions from the book and recipes
alongside a take home surprise banana leaf wrapped pyramid dumpling for the following morning.

Drawing (left) by Susanna Battin
The flyer (right) is both an invitation to initiate your own river clean-up, and an artifact of this time, when understandings of labor, environment, nature, and culture are no longer separable. The flyer was designed in the media lab at the Pima County Public Library by Wings' local chair who identifies as a Common Raven (Corvus corax). She extends her thanks to the Tucson librarians who, for the first time, permitted computer and printer usage to a non-human patron.
