Compost Day #3: Digesting Feminism

Sensory Reading & Fermentation

Part of the Compost Days format of the Klasse für Alle

How do we nourish ourselves?
Have you ever thought about the life of your digestion?
How can we digest feminism collectively?
Digesting Feminism is a collective practice of listening, tasting, and composting, where feminist theories ferment not in books, but in bodies. Our guts, like our minds, are shaped by what we consume and how we process it. Drawing from Monja Simon’s publication Sauerkraut and her lived fermentation practice, participants are invited to taste home-fermented foods, share stories, and explore what it means to digest feminism physically, emotionally, and intellectually. This invitation to slow down, sense inward, taste and reflect makes space for collective transformation and porous knowledge-making. Inspired by Elizabeth A. Wilson’s Gut Feminism we begin from the belly — as archive, filter, and compass. We will consider digestion as a method: to hold what resists, to compost what sits heavy, to sit with what cannot be rushed. Digesting Feminism is a tender practice for anyone drawn to food, feminism, fermentation, composting and feeling.
