  Episode #55

  No good ferment starts with a sad veggie

  Sep 18, 202631 minS1

  In this episode of Ferment Radio, we enter the world of Citizen Sandwich, a food and cultural heritage project that materialized during the past Audra Festival in Kaunas, Lithuania. Citizen sandwich was part experimental kitchen, part temporary canteen, part art project, part fermentation lab, and built around hyper-local ingredients, rescued food, and foraging. This project was brought together by Jonas Palekas, a chef working across food research and community, and Sean Roy Parker, an artist exploring post-capital food practices. Together with other food professionals, including yours truly, the project took place in a temporary kitchen at Kavinė Kultūra, Culture Café, right in the heart of Kaunas. This is exactly the kind of projects Ferment Radio promotes, and likes to be in: somewhere between a kitchen, a conversation, and critical practice. Welcome to a brand new episode of Ferment Radio.

  #54: Microbial or human, that is the question (with Nathalie Dubois & Adam Zaretsky)

  Jun 28, 202641 minS1

  What are we actually? Are we more microbial than human? This episode brings together two artists whose practices orbit that question from very different angles: Nathalie Dubois, a bioartist and scientist whose work often centers on microbes, and Adam Zaretsky, a bioartist mixing ecology, biotechnology, non-human relations, body performance, and gastronomy. Nathalie explores how human personality intertwines with the microbiome, and Adam pushes the limits of biological matter and its preservation in museum archives. Even though they take different approaches, they often run into the same questions. Are microbes the puppet masters of humans, or do humans control microbes? Who depends on whom, and how much of that dependence do we even recognize? Their answers go into areas many people find unfamiliar, challenging assumptions about agency, ethics, and co-existence across species.

  #53: Walk your desire path of fermentation (with Johnny Drain)

  May 15, 202621 minS1

  There’s a moment when it hits you. It happens after some time of gathering bits and pieces of knowledge, experiences, feelings, and observations. It might even come after asking yourself “what am I doing?” multiple times. But suddenly the pieces click and turn into a viewpoint that you want to share with others. Some people find this clarity in the form of a book. One of them is Johnny Drain, who went from making yoghurt in his grandma’s kitchen as a kid to working with high-end restaurants. Johnny is also the author of Adventures in Fermentation, a book that captures his particular take on fermentation, let´s say, somewhere between flavour and sustainability. If you’re wondering why we even need another book on fermentation, tune into Ferment Radio and listen to our latest episode!

  #52: Come on feel the science! (with Kirsty Hendry)

  Feb 27, 202625 minS1

  More than a collection of fixed truths, science can be an ongoing narrative, one that continually reshapes how we understand bodies, identity, and life itself. In this episode, we explore how scientific ideas evolve, transform, and eventually become obsolete. This shifting nature of knowledge is at the core of our conversation with artist Kirsty Hendry. Through texts and moving images, Hendry’s practice examines the body as a social and cultural construct, with a particular focus on the human microbiome, questioning where the boundaries of the self begin and end.
