This book argues that the performance-based work in the featured case studies contributes to the construction of food democracy where the public takes back decision-making in shaping the food system. It explores how contemporary artists translate scientific research about local and global agricultural issues into life stories that inform and engage their audiences and, in so doing, transform passive food consumers into proactive food citizens. The pairing of performing and farmscapes (complex webs of farmlands and storylines) enables artists to use embodied practices to encourage audiences to imagine a just and sustainable agri-food system and to collaborate on making it a reality. The book arranges the case studies on a trajectory that moves from projects that foreground knowledge acquisition to ones that emphasize social engagement by creating conversations and coalitions between farming and nonfarming communities to a final one that pairs protest art and political activism to achieve legally-binding changes in the agricultural landscape.

"Performing Democracy" explores aspects of a developing form of
performance that works to change social conditions for marginalized
groups or to preserve the traditions and cohesion of the community.
The book combines critical analysis with field reports on specific
projects and productions to explore the issues that confront
community-based performance. The range of topics is impressive, and
includes performances in North America, Australia, the Middle East,
Bosnia, Taiwan, Korea, England, and the Netherlands. Many articles
include production photos.
