"O que são materiais históricos? Como o manipulamos e o que eles nos falam?
Eu uso alimentos e outros materias orgânicos para traduzir minhas conversas com História e Memória.

I use food and other organic materials to translate my conversations with History and Memory.

I will dive multi-directionally into everything all at once.
