The Gramounce (Barney Pau and Hannah Morgan)

The Gramounce

The Gramounce is a collective researching food-based art and contemporary politics. The Gramounce pursues the re-conceptualisation of the world through food, reframing a foodscape reality where to develop an artistic practice. Through alternative education, residencies, workshops, and a supper club, the collective studies food as a valid discipline in the arts and academia, understanding food as foundational to any world-building exercise.

Barney Pau

Barney Pau a London-based culinary creative working at the confluence of food, art, and writing, whose practice focuses on food futures, queering consumption, and foraging and fermenting as social resistance. His writing, food, and artwork examine the intersection between language, culture and nature through contemporary social critique. He believes food, in its ubiquity, transcends language as a mode of communication, and by applying it as an artistic medium, it can be used to impart new thinking. In his practice, he uses food both to communicate his thinking and as a point of departure for research. Barney is editor of The Gramounce Journal, tutor on their AltMA, and director of their Queer Food Short Course.

Hannah Morgan

Hannah is a visual artist living in Bristol, UK. Using predominantly analogue photography and sustainable plant-based processing, her work explores ecology, ancient memory, human relationships and the interconnected nature of our planet. Blurring the boundaries of fact and fiction, dream and reality, Hannah’s work invites the environment to become a part of the process, thus challenging the physicality of imagery through imperfection, deterioration and a fusion between the photograph’s surface and nature’s physical matter.
