Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts

Rice, wheat, maize, barley, sorghum, millet; all staple grains that are central to daily life in regions that are experiencing conflict. By bringing these grains into a humble shared meal, Conflict Grains seeks to frame eating as a form of attention: a moment of togetherness, to reflect, and gently acknowledge the interconnectedness between sustenance and survival. The dinner becomes both a gathering and a quiet question — how do we nourish ourselves amid ongoing violence, and what does it mean to share that nourishment across distance?

Sign up for the dinner here.

soso brafield

soso brafield (she/her) is an artist, educator and writer based in Bergen, Norway. Gathering is the overarching theme in her practice. From the physicality of making gathering spaces to the ephemeral nature of gathering people. Gathering is so important in today’s world, a primal force that nurtures a sense of belonging and community, of togetherness and unity. brafield’s practice bends the conventional notion of art production and places emphasis on the nurturing of culture and community. The departure point is the locality and challenging established norms. Her practice encourages the audience through participation to reflect upon society, the interactions and processes through which the individual and the whole are shaping and being shaped.
