A foraging adventure on the VUB campus for students.
Get to know the campus in a different way through the edible plants growing here. Foraging has long been, and still is in many places, a way of eating and living with what a place provides. In this session, it becomes a practical way to explore sustainability and feel more connected. It’s also a reminder that we’re part of an ecosystem, not separate from it.
Join Juliette from Kin Hands for a collective walk. You’ll learn what to look for, pick a small selection, and then prepare and share a simple meal. Along the way, we’ll take time to exchange plant stories, memories, and personal connections. Together, we'll create a welcoming space for kinship with plants, with place, and with each other.

PART OF
The Foragers: Engagements beyond the Human, an interdisciplinary art-science project that brings together artists, researchers and enthusiasts to reimagine the ancient practice of foraging as a bold, imaginative and future-facing practice. Alongside film screenings, talks and collective practices, the programme comes together in the exhibition at Pilar (24 April – 29 May).
