VIRTUAL LECTURE: Digesting Wilderness: The Culture of Wild Food
August 10 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

with Prof. Rachel Black, Associate Professor and Chair of the Anthropology Department, Connecticut College
$10 (members 10% discount)
Is there such a thing as wild food? Building on the central theme of Dana Sherwood’s exhibit, this talk will examine cultural notions of wilderness through food and look at the ways in which Sherwood blurs the lines between the human and animal worlds. From hunting and gathering to foraging and creating elaborate pièce montée, Black will examine food as a cultural object that can bring us closer to the environment or attempt to distance us from what we think of as the natural world.
