Soil of Cultures

Soil of Cultures is a collective of artists, cultural workers, community organisers, growers, and land stewards sowing the seeds of our creative imagination. They promote food sovereignty, support local food movements in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally and address the root causes of injustice in our food system through collective action, storytelling and art.

Back to the Roots

In September 2023, Soil of Cultures initiated 'Back to the Roots', a six-month programme in Whangārei to reconnect Asian migrant communities with their cultural heritage through the mediums of food, stories, and art. The conclusion of this programmes featured a community exhibition at the Hihiaua Cultural Centre in June 2024.

Grace and Charles will be sharing their story on the Back to the Roots project and the reconnection of Asian migrant communities with their culture through kai.
