Beans, Rinsed Twice
Beans, Rinsed Twice follows tales, histories, memories and recipes tied up in a bean. How many stories can a recipe tell? And who do these stories belong to?
Through the personal and historical symbolism of a bean - the process of growing, harvesting and cooking this seed - the film considers how we carry multiple places within us, the value of tacit knowledge and the possibilities for a reciprocal language of care.
