The Right to Fibre is a two-track participatory and artistic research project as part of the VHDG Artist in Residence programme 2021.
The working approach uses dietary fibre and human rights as talking points to investigate issues around health equity, food access, political language and resonance, and the embodiment of human connection, choice and empowerment.
Between private deep-participation, public collaborations, casual participation and public access to the artistic research findings, the work situates itself on many aspects of the scale, visiting dust under carpets where needed.
April 2021 held the first segment of the research, which continues through a second residency period in September / October 2021. This phase will attempt to enact findings as useful tools in actual space. The Right to Fibre is an attempt to integrate an artistic system into private life and public governing, by offering the practice as a method of construction which takes a radical resonance.
