Food Democracy

Description

In a world where privatisation and capitalism dominate the global economy, the essays in this book ask how to make socially responsive communication, design and art that counters the role of the food industry as a machine of consumption. Food Democracy brings together contributions from leading international scholars and activists, critical case studies of emancipatory food practices and reflections on possible models for responsive communication design and art. A section of visual communication works, creative writings and accounts of participatory art for social and environmental change – curated by the Memefest Festival of Socially Responsive Communication and Art on the theme of "Food Democracy" – are also included here. The beautifully designed book also includes a unique and delicious compilation of socially engaged recipes by the academic, artist and activist community. Aiming not just to advance scholarship, but to push ahead real change in the world, Food Democracy is essential reading for scholars and citizens alike.

his book is a result of a journey, which started in ear -
ly 2013 and it included more than two hundred people T fr om 25 countries throughout the several stages of this
extradisciplinary research. It is impossible to thank everyone though
and so I will thank here those whose contribution is at the core of
what I feel is a truly wonderful book.
First I would like to thank the Memefest network and especially
Rok, Dejan, Ana and Vida. The fact that Memefest exists for more than
15 years is utterly beautiful and amazing. The wider Memefest network
gives me a sense of belonging, which is so very crucial in any intellec -
tual work and provides a space of alternative culture capable of things
the university alone isn’t.
I would like to thank the publisher Intellect books UK for truly
embracing what they called ‘a new type of academic book’ and the idea
of this book series and for keeping the promise of truly supporting the
authors’ original voices. It is important that this research is published
with an independent publisher. A big thank you in particular goes to
James Campbell and Amy Rollason. I still remember the sunny morn -
ing at which James and I met in our campus Café at Swinburne Uni -
versity in Melbourne. James truly saw and embraced the initial idea of
this book, and pushed it even further for this to become a book series.
Thank you to Amy Rollason, for her patient collaboration and all her
meticulous editorial work and advice. The whole process was truly a
genuine pleasure and helped to make this project become what it is in
the best possible way. I look forward to work on many books like this
in the future. Many thanks also to the peer reviewers and language
editors. Of course my big thanks goes to all the contributors to this
book, the many diverse voices of theory and practice, the partners in 13
dialogue, the writers, designers, artists and activists who participated
in the several stages of the Memefest process. Thank you to Nikola
Janović for his collaboration on conceptualizing the Food
Democracy Friendly Competition outlines. Thank you to all the participants
and mentors of the Memef est Food Democracy Symposium/
Workshop/ Intervention event at Grifth University Queensland College
of Ar t, to my students and the collaborators of the Brisbane Aborigi -
nal Sovereign Embassy. Thanks especially to George Petelin who has
been co-organizing the Memefest Brisbane event with me and co-cu -
rating the Memefest/QCA Award for Critical Imaginative
Interventions but mostly for all the many important conversations usually in
situations of hedonistic pleasure. Thanks also to Manfred Huber for
his generous hospitality and collaboration. Thanks to QCA/Grifth
for supporting the event fnancially, enabling us to work in very good
conditions, and inviting amazing people from around the world to
work with us. Big thank you also to all the co-curators and co-editors
of the Memefest friendly competition process. Throughout the years
we have created a precious collaboration resulting in a unique
methodology, which I highly appreciate. Thank you also to the Center for
Design Inno vation at Swinburne University for the fnancial support
with which we are able to print this extensive book in full colour and
keep the price low, so many more people can appreciate it instead
of making this book on food democracy afordable only for libraries
or wealthy people – this is true impact. Last but absolutely not least,
Rok Klemenčič, thank you for the beautiful book design work, and
for being part of it all again.

his book engages food democracy with communication, BO OKdesign and art. Food is central to our lives, but broader Tknowledge related to food is increasingly dissolved in
the standardizations of consumerist society. Knowledge about com -
munication, media, design and art is largely subsumed to a discourse
diluting responsibility through elevating the market as the main
principle for the fnal justifcation of human actions. We argue that kno - wl
edge created under autonomous conditions can lead to change, as it
has the potential to create new situations, and particularly that socially
responsive communication, design and art can crucially contribute to
food democracy.
Not long ago I talked with a university lecturer, an experienced
and inspirational designer who regularly participates in radical
social actions. He explained to me how a group of academics wanted
to study one of their actions – having received a grant
