The seeds and saplings that grow into food that nourishes us, feeds our communities and provides a living. What does it mean to 'own’ something that has grown and been used for thousands of years? Many seeds hold stories of custom and ritual long before they are picked, packaged and priced. 

Led by the voices and stories of Indigenous and traditional knowledge holders, Ground reveals the tangled histories of patenting plants. Past and present are woven through time, reaching your eyes, ears and tastebuds through a locally sourced and specially curated menu and live performance experience from award-winning creators and producers Trigger. Through an immersive 3-course meal, Ground brings light to the heritage found in every bite.

From the food on your plate to the stars in the sky, this earthy and intimate event invites curiosity and connection to the land and to each other.

Each ingredient has a story to tell. Sit with us and listen.

This event took place in May 2024. Ground will be touring soon.
