The Soft Protest Digest is a research collective founded by DDanish farmer and artist Nickie Sigurdsson, and French designers and artists Robin Bantigny and Jérémie Rentien Lando (previously working under the name of Adel Cersaque.)

The collective is using different narratives to test how food culture, in the context of climate change, is created and altered. Calling on the use of fictional traditions, multi-species storytellings, publishing, the landscape and local knowledge; the collective believes that stories create kinship and allies, much needed in a time of environmental breakdown, in order to imagine and realise liveable futures. These means will hopefully dismantle the structural problems related to the current food web.
