Presented by MOUNTAIN VALLEY SPRING WATER, CATHEAD DISTILLERY, MAKER’S MARK, 21C.
SFA’s 23rd Fall Symposium begins with Visions, invoking myths and memories of the past to craft an intentional future for our region. Poet Ada Limón shares original verse awash in chocolate sunflowers and cast-iron cornbread, in which food attempts to still time. Bartender Claire Sprouse mixes three cocktails for a sustainable future, each honoring a Black woman or man building resistance and awareness around climate change. See a South long obscured through the work of contemporary photographers who upend traditional narratives, guided by teacher and essayist Ralph Eubanks. Last, author Caleb Johnson reads a letter to his unborn son, hoping he will taste wild ramps and sour apples and worrying that, because of ongoing environmental devastation, he will never know a wild Gulf oyster.
Claire Sprouse grew up in Houston, where she began mixing cocktails for extra cash. In 2014 she formed the Tin Roof Community with Chad Arnholt to spotlight green bar initiatives, earning the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation “Sustainability Spirit” award. Four years later, she launched Hunky Dory, a low-waste, all-day café and bar in Brooklyn. Her latest project is Outlook Good, the organization behind Optimistic Cocktails, a collaborative e-recipe book featuring drinks that utilize food waste.
