This week, we're reading an overview of the history and spread of sugar-producing plants across ecosystems. Tracing sugar's domestication from Papua New Guinea to temperate Europe, the research reveals how its global journey has been shaped by geography, colonial ambition, and humanity's enduring appetite for sweetness. At the Gallery, Jade Armstrong's exhibit, Forbidden Desire, traces sugar's transformation from a rare luxury to an overconsumed commodity through blown-sugar sculptures that capture a single breath before dissolving into syrupy residue. Experience this exhibit and more as part of CALORIE, every Wednesday to Sunday. Read the study here: https://lnkd.in/ejn3keMq Jahnavi Phalkey
