Lecture: Public Meal
Cultivating resistance and building friendships at the communal table
This talk will be about communal eating in relation to resistance and its potential in building commons. With Gezi Protests of Turkey from June 2013 and its main aspects in the background, my focus will be on a specific practice "yeryuzu sofralari/earth tables". This is a communal fast breaking meal that was initiated by anti-capitalist Muslims after Gezi Protests, This practice carries out non-monetary sharing and exchange ideas that was kept during the encampment period at Gezi Park. Religious and non-religious offering (and accepting) a seat at a common table and sharing food, Yeryüzü Sofralar? enables a profound human expression of hospitality and a practice of commoning by simply breaking bread together.
