We wish to create a "mobile food commons" as part of SoC’s learning environment, a traveling pop-up space, online and offline gatherings that move between different communities to engage in workshops on harvesting, gardening, food preservation, and collective meals. This "food lab" could be a space where participants experiment with alternative food ways, share knowledge, co-create resources for commoning, and exchange about ecological systemic injustices. The mobile commons would allow for trans-local exchange, bringing together diverse voices and experiences while physically embodying the principles of "Radical Sharing", reciprocating local communities’ radical hospitality, and "Commons-based methods". This playful & experimental space could act as a living lab for reactivating ancestral knowledge & a bond with mother nature, and reimagining food systems as part of the broader effort to address climate change and ecological justice.

Exploring "Deep Hanging Out" and "Dialogic Decolonial Pedagogic Practice" to build immersive, dialogic environments that link storytelling, sensory activities, and collective rituals like gardening and cooking. These practices will examine how food connects histories, bodies, and environments.

A key component will be "Field Work", reframed as an artistic and communal act, involving visits to farms, markets, or gardens to co-create knowledge with communities addressing postcolonial and ecological challenges. Reflective practices using "Constellations Toward Radical Ecologies of Care" will deepen engagement with resilience, autonomy, and environmental justice themes.

Through this, we hope to nurture a pedagogy that bridges ecological awareness and creative collaboration, fostering old and new forms of care and resistance.
