Mai : Kaurna Contemporary Food

Mai : Kaurna Contemporary Food is a food based art project about Kaurna food, history and culture. This project explores developing a new Kaurna cuisine called "Mai" using indigenous and non indigenous foods to tell our rich and unique history within Australia. The first step of project is the development of a contemporary Kaurna cookbook called Mai : Kaurna Contemporary Food  that has a series of recipes that highlights the Kaurna nations unique history, culture, environments and ecosystems of the Adelaide plains in South Australia. The word 'Mai' means vegetable food in Kaurna language but the word 'Mai' is non unique to the Kaurna language, many other Aboriginal language groups use 'Mai' for food. ​The Mai recipes are available to the public at selected art exhibitions and events. Mai has been served at the Plenty Exhibition at ACE Open in Adelaide and was served during the APT 9 triennial exhibition at the Queensland Art Gallery cafe.
