And For You, Flours and Flowers, Mayworks
A collaboration between Dana Prieto and Safaa Alnabelseya, presented as part of Every Worker Should Have Equal Labour Rights.
Sacraments, batons, cannons, and friar’s balls are among the most popular baked goods in Argentina. Crafted and named by anarchist bakers in the early twentieth century in Buenos Aires, these pastries have long carried gestures of protest and satire against church, military, and state authority. And for You, Flours and Flowers draws from conceptual and material strategies of anarchist and feminist movements, where care and pleasure are woven into daily forms of resistance to extractive capitalism and war. The work brings into proximity distinct political and culinary histories, tracing how food can reorganize time, intimacy, and discourse, while enacting forms of relation grounded in mutuality rather than transactional individualism.
Passed from hand to hand at the festival opening, And for You, Flours and Flowers takes shape through the sharing of edible confections shaped by stories of solidarity, love, and dissent.
