Broken Rice Atlas is an amalgamation of research into rice practices, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. Spanning from agricultural, gastronomic, historical, sociocultural to the sociopolitical and even spiritual forms, Broken Rice Atlas serves as a non-exhaustive and non-linear peer-supported atlas that informs and shares anecdotes, fiction, non-fiction and knowledge anchoring around rice. First conceived as a research project, this platform annotates and manifests knowledge of rice agricultural practices, native rice seeds, lost tastes, or even recipes, into new in/tangible creations as it expands.

Rice Brewing Sisters Club
 

Rice Brewing Sisters Club (RBSC) is a collective of sisters who works with “social fermentation” as an artistic form. They think of fermentation as not only a biochemical transformation but also an open-ended process that traverses visual art, performance, cooking, creative writing, oral history, ecological thinking, and auntie wisdoms. Also by bringing in the element of “social” in various forms, they experiment with ways to connect the sensorial with the relational. While operating on a yearly membership, they aim to collaborate beyond the boundaries of a collective. This is done by hosting open-ended platforms, where rice eaters from many regions, dwellers of the past, present, and future, and other various human and non-human beings can meet and create synergistic networks.
