Pottery by OsaI'm prepping for tomorrow's workshop with UnidosNow, a local Hispanic/Latinx org that has been shaken by the recent wave of deportations and has decided that working with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/clay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#clay</a> would be a grounding, healing activity to help cope with that reality. Before the hands-on clay part, I'll share photos of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ta%C3%ADno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taíno</a> potter I met in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PuertoRico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PuertoRico</a> when we visited in 2023. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AliceCh%C3%A9verez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AliceChéverez</a> of Morovis carries on the ancient art of her people, passed on to her by her mother. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ceramics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ceramics</a>

Clark Excerpt: "Originally brought to Jamaica from the Pacific Islands by the HMS Bounty in 1794, breadfruit was an inexpensive, nutritious food for enslaved Africans labouring on British-owned sugar plantations. The trees grow quickly and fruit within a year of planting, producing 200 to 400 fruits per year the size of a large grapefruit or small watermelon. Breadfruit contains all nine essential amino acids and is a good source of fibre, protein and several minerals and vitamins."In the centuries since their introduction, breadfruit trees were abundant across Jamaica, and the fruit has been a staple of the country's cuisine. In recent years, as communities have sought out more sustainable, local and healthy food sources – especially ones that can withstand extreme weather (a breadfruit tree that's damaged in a hurricane can regrow itself) – breadfruit has experienced renewed interest as a nutritious and versatile option, providing both health and economic benefits."Typically eaten as a side dish and used like a vegetable, breadfruit is most often roasted, peeled and sliced. Its taste is subtly sweet, with a chewy bread-like quality (hence its name). Its soft and starchy texture is akin to a root vegetable like potato or cassava. Like those foods, it takes on the flavour of the main course with which it is served.[...]"Breadfruit can also be processed into flour, creating a gluten-free alternative for baking."Karlene Johnson uses the flour at her bakery outside of Kingston called Something Country. Her treats include <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bulla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bulla</a> (a cake-like snack made with molasses), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bammies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bammies</a> (a flatbread originating from the island's <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ta%C3%ADno" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Taíno</a> peoples) and oatmeal cookies.' "'Historically, breadfruit is important," she said. 'Culturally, every Jamaican can identify it as part of their gastronomic experience. Economically, Jamaica stands to benefit from local and international sales of the raw fruit and other processed products.'"

Hoy sé que hay más de su herencia en nuestro archipiélago que lo que pensaba.
