Migrating birds, shipwreck survivors, extraterrestrial bodies, distant seeds washed ashore, outsiders in love, forgotten memories, and rare ingredients that become staple foods. This is Hiiumaa, an island in the Baltic Sea, 22 kilometers from mainland Estonia: a field laboratory to investigate “what is foreign”. In collaboration with plants, flavors, human voices, and insular soundscapes, we ferment a sonic journey to discover what it means to become a local.
This is the 1st episode of the World in a Pickle, Ferment Radio’s mini-series focused on understanding geopolitical complexities through fermented foods.
