Epicurean Endocrinology

Epicurean Endocrinology is a collaboration with the bio-artist Byron Rich

This project explores the effects of food on hormones, and hormones on food, through cooking, shared meals, experiments, and performances.

Epicurean Endocrinology is concerned with how food is gendered and how it is sexed. We use food and cooking to examine the intersections of food systems, endocrine disruptors, corporate influence, and cultural ideology. We investigate and represent the ways food affects notions of gender and entrenches gender norms, and the ways in which corporations, institutions, and entrenched systems influence and alter our bodies and our hormones.
