Ground
Each ingredient has a story to tell. Gather, eat and listen.
Brighton Festival Commission
World Premiere
Set against the UK’s first Earthship, this unique supper club experience is led by the voices of Indigenous and traditional knowledge holders.
With contributors including Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of best-selling Braiding Sweetgrass, a locally sourced and specially curated 3-course meal reveals the tangled histories of patenting plants.
What does it mean to 'own’ something that has grown and been used for thousands of years? From award-winning creators and producers Trigger (Teabreak, Brighton Festival 2023), this dining experience and live performance seeks to decolonise the food on our plate.
Featured on Grand Designs, Earthship Brighton is a pioneering off grid eco-building powered using the natural elements. Stories of past and present invite curiosity and connection to the land, to our food and each other.
