Co-founder Linzi Lewis (aka Liliana Transplanter) was sponsored to attend the Slow Food Youth Network's Terre Madre Giovani <i>We Feed The Planet</i> event in Milan, Italy.<br />
<br />
It was inspiring to see the energy and commitment of all the people from across the world, doing amazing things to conserve indigenous foods and cultures, diversity in agriculture and diets, and ensuring environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation.<br />
<br />
Although our contexts are different, we are fighting the same fight, homogenisation, commodification, and destruction of lands and knowledge.<br />
<br />
Thank you for doing what you are doing, and thank you to the Slow Food Youth Network for existing, and allowing for PolleNation to participate.<br />
<br />
Love and Respect<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We had many formal and informal engagements with local leadership, traders, customers, and passer-bys inside and around the market. This was primarily a trust-building process, but also served as developing a relationship where we could potentially facilitate a process to undercover shared meaning and visions for the future of Mai Mai.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Speaking with this range of people allowed us to understand the diverse perspectives, interests and needs in such a dynamic and complex environment, trying to understand how decisions are made, how conflicts are resolved, and power dynamics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This was also crucial in building a relationship and trust with local stakeholders and community, to ensure the process is participatory, collaborative, relevant and lasts beyond the activation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We facilitated two exercises to explore the meaning of Mai Mai, and the knowledge inside Mai Mai, using plants.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Dialogue with the Elders about the Heritage of the KwaMai Mai market, and the heritage within Mai Mai.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Traditional knowledge surrounding medicinal plants is also a very sensitive issue, and therefore needs to be carefully approached. That is why throughout this activation, we only used plants which everyone knows and has an experience with, and does not conflict with anybody’s intellectual property rights. This would allow for stories to emerge, around the significance of these plants in their lives, without limitations and conflict.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The first was with a group of elders, who we invited to join this conversation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We uncovered a variety of beautifully intimate stories of people’s lives, cultures and connections to this space, as well as to what the space holds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The session ended with a ceremonial planting of Aloe arborensis, an indigenous aloe with many medicinal properties, in a wooden palette. A beautiful final touch was when one participant suggested we put the palette on the roof of Mdu’s container. A lovely addition to the dark, polluted cooking space.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Following this engagement we continued to conduct interviews with the people within the foodcourt in Mai Mai. We were unable to speak to the people inside the actual market, out of request from Mdu, as this requires a certain amount of protocol due to the many tourists and researchers who come to that space, which disturbs many of the traders, nyangas, sangomas and residents of the space. During the interviews we spoke to many people who make their livelihoods through this space, and many of the meanings revealed the economic benefits of working here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The actual space that we finally decided to transform for the festival was decided by Mdu, as he cleaned up a space in the food court, following our discussion with the elders. Such a locally initiated outcome is something that we really were inspired by, and how this decision was made</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We wrote 11 meanings onto cut palettes, and asked people present and passing-by to plant in the box with the meaning that they identified with. While doing this we planted in the area that Mdu had cleaned, and variety of locally indigenous plants, which have some medicinal and cultural value. The plants were selected as they are not sensitive, and almost everyone would have some knowledge, experience and story about the plant, as they are commonly used plants.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We
aspire to creating small scale agriculture and agroprocessing, as part
of generating sustainable livelihoods through urban agriculture. This
would also then feed into local markets, primarily the informal trade
economy, to ensure quality, affordable and accessible foods, ie food
security and food sovereignty. </span><br />

With pure love and collaborative energy a heart and peace shaped garden was created. It was pure joy to see the combined energy form this. Thank you to the Occupy Durban team, and the volunteers, interested passer-bys and those who desire positive solutions to the general disrespect we see in these global negotiations. We are powerful. we can do. Lets. </span></div>

Here we have various indigenous fruit trees- the Kei Apple, the Wild Plum and the Marula. as well as some special local medicines (Aloe arborescens) and Spekboom, known for its ability to absorb high amounts of Carbon from the atmosphere. The heart was filled with tomato seedlings, many of which were just starting to bear fruit. Food for everyone! bringing food production to the city. and the peace sign is filled with Marogo/imifino/Amarinth- an indigenous leafy vegetable. </span></div>
