What is SALT?

A translocal online study kitchen where learning is inseparable from living. Through somatic practices, collective cooking, critical conversations, and shared reading, we gather around metaphorical and literal kitchen tables to ferment thought, nourish resistance, and practice embodied transformation.

Why SALT?

SALT stands for Solidarity, Action, (Un)Learning & Transformation—the core ingredients of this programme. Salt preserves, seasons, disrupts, and heals. It has been traded, taxed, mined, and marched for, entwining it to histories of violence and resistance. It draws out flavor in food and stings wounds before healing them.

Who Is This For?

This online study kitchen is for people who want to connect with an international learning community around food, politics, ecology, embodiment, and cultural transformation.

It is suitable for both beginning fermenters and experienced practitioners. No advanced kitchen skills are needed — only curiosity, willingness to experiment, and openness to learning from living processes.

It is for people who want to engage with scholarly and political texts, but not leave them on the page. Together we will translate theory into practice, conversation into commitment, and kitchen work into forms of attention, accountability, and action.

Note: the suggested readings may be a bit dense in theory. We welcome both scholars and people with no academic background to join. You don't need to read heavy texts to participate. No academic background or training is assumed or needed to engage. We will be digesting theory together in different ways, through sound, movement, cooking, drawing, and images.
