Wild Stories
From surrounding fields, nature reserves and the river shores of Western Sydney, artist and keen naturalist Diego Bonetto will meet with locals to lead workshops to inspire the naturalist in all of us, and collect and record the wild stories we carry.
Diego will host a range of workshops that will inspire locals and the broader community to create their own Wild Stories through the foraging of the local environment, cooking classes, skill sharing and story-telling for the young and old, the green thumb or those just wanting to learn more about the world around them.
“I just watched a video of you cooking biscuits with fennel. My mother loved making spinach and feta pies with fennel that we would pick from the side of train tracks. For some reason, the train track fennel always tasted better than the garden grown fennel. I wonder what other weeds you can use in cooking. Are you going to write a little cook book one day?”
