Taking the Biscuit Back

Lucy Aphramor / PBH's Free Fringe • Professional company

60 minutes•Downstairs Room
Poetitian Lucy Aphramor returns to Edinburgh with more bittersweet perspectives on food and flourishing. Banishing the binary, they serve up a fiery fusion of wordsmithery, trans joy, compassion and queer nutrition science that makes mincemeat of "eat less, move more" and fat shame. Find out how healthy eating messages dish up coloniality and then sample how an abolitionist take on public health helps us metabolise shame and judgement as we re-imagine learning and healing together. Satisfying for everyone hungry for liberation.
