"Roots to Resilience" is a collaborative exploration of tuber crops—a testament to their resilience, untold stories, and the vibrant communities that nurture them. This project transcends the conventional boundaries of agriculture and art, seeking to unearth the connections between people and these underground wonders.

Tubers, often overlooked, are more than sustenance; they are art forms with diverse shapes, sizes, and stories. This space serves as an action research and participatory exploration, questioning the unexplored potential of over 100 tuber varieties across India. Through visual art, recipe documentation, and recordings of culinary traditions, we celebrate the intricate relationship between tubers and the communities deeply rooted in their cultivation.

"Roots to Resilience" is an inquiry into the socio-political, economic, and ecological dimensions of tubers—acting as a barometer for global issues. Our practical and theoretical investigations aim to unravel power dynamics and ideologies within global foodways, offering perspectives and compassion while acknowledging their complexities.
