The front of the postcard offered to the guests of the dinner, combining spores and pollen in one pedagogical drawing.

Answering to the invitation of contemporary art museum Palais de Tokyo[1], The Soft Protest Digest took part of โ€œLe Banquetโ€, a dinner introducing the museum's exhibition Futur, ancien, fugitif, dedicated to the โ€œfrench art sceneโ€. Taking place on November 20th 2019, the collective served an entremets[2] and a dessert to the 150 guests of the dinner, titled respectively โ€œSporeโ€ and โ€œPollenโ€.

Each of the two dishes served as the illustration of a problematic related to the impact of small, often disregarded, organisms on the environment.

To that end, โ€œSporeโ€ aimed to address the various invisible uses of fungi and yeast in the production of food, as well as its prevalence and effects on our planet's ecosystems (๐Ÿ”—click here for more info). โ€œPollenโ€, on the other hand, focused on the current collapse of pollinators biodiversity through the prism of the bee (๐Ÿ”—click here for more info). This dish led the collective to meet and work with beekeeper Julien Perrin, as well as biologist and researcher Fanny Rybak. Both were featured in a podcast recorded for the occasion.
