Tasting Ubuntu is a pioneering Research Residency between Living Justice, the Centre for the Study of the Afterlife of Violence and the Reparative Quest (AVReQ), and the Centre for Sustainability Transitions (CST) at Stellenbosch University. The residency engaged with a research community of students, researchers, food growers, local residents, not-for-profit and government. Drawing inspiration from the Southern African relational philosophies of Ubuntu, we together explored the connections between food and racial justice through a sequence of convivial arts-based methods and convivial food rituals.
