Abstract
There is an increasing amount of scholarship being done on Food Sovereignty in the social sciences. In this interdisciplinary essay, I suggest that artists have much to learn and offer should we engage in those discourses. Grappling with Performance Studies, Indigenous Studies, Christianity Studies, Performative modes of writing, Art Criticism, a light sprinkling of Archaeology, and an unspoken appeal to Semiotics and Grammatology, I collate my written page with my theoretical moves in order to creatively express the neologism and methodology which I propose: The Hyphenic. I use qualitative, anecdotal data and inductive reasoning to thread together the seeming disjunctions throughout the essay. In the piece, all formatting and emphasis choices are my own. All sources are provided in the bibliography, and please keep in mind that a citation may not be immediately obvious. For best results, read out loud to a crowded, orange-lit room after dinner and make fun of any words longer than nine letters as you come across them.
