Bardovore Collective

Welcome to BARDOVORE, a collective -- operating from the realm of edible alchemy & mindful metabolism. ​From conception, BARDOVORE has prioritized an ethos of environmental responsibility, health conscientiousness, & a playfulness in plating -- imbuing both creative process & mindfulness to the act of consuming.

​

BARDO: an intermediate state, or liminality, from Tibetan Buddhism as a transitioning from death to rebirth 

​// taken here expansively, non-literally, mapping on to all senses of passage, through-ness of in-between-ness

​// undergoing of unbecoming to make possible another form, reincarnate, newly evolved, refreshed, renewed, agin becoming // think: a day, an era, a meal, a longing, a trial, a reset, a rebirth 

​

VORE: to devour, consume, subsist by way of nourishment, existentially support // a multi-realizable concept & core to the project -- consumption practices at face value involve metabolic transaction (at the intersect of ethics & preferences (think: culinary persuasion)) but extend also to alternate modalities of appetite & sustenance (think: goods, wares, wearables, places, spaces, connections) -- appetitive instincts towards materials necessary for self actualizing, thriving, flourishing
