Episode Synopsis

How can storytelling be fair? Can food become the means to tell a much bigger story? What shall we consider when talking about people from other cultures and indigenous peoples communities?
Today, we will listen to the story of Gabriella, a student at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo (UNISG), Italy. Who had a life-changing experience with the Juruna indigenous community in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. From this experience onwards she decided that she wants to invest her time in storytelling as a means to talk about indigenous food movements. In the course of this episode we will also listen to Tunda Lepore, an inspiring Maasai leader, and Slow Food International Counselor for Indigenous Peoples.

Host & Production: Valentina Gritti
Guests: Gabriella Bruno (UNISG student) and Tunda Lepore (SFI counselor for indigenous peoples, maasai)
