Event Description

Nourishment from their hands, nourishment from their minds.

Knowledge of wild edibles has long been carried by women elders. Urbanisation is swallowing both the foraging grounds and the people who know them. Suresh Kumar G has spent years researching and documenting these practices for future generations. His project ‘Sarjapura Curries’ archives lost recipes, revives forgotten greens, and records the seasonal knowledge embedded in local communities before it vanishes entirely. 

This session is part presentation, part demonstration, part meal. A foraged stew will be cooked and shared.

This event is a part of the Environment Day programming at BIC.
