Ferment.

As climate change worsens, parts of Earth have become uninhabitable. The UK now faces scorching summers and winters of severe flooding. Farmland is unstable, livestock struggle to survive, and farmers have turned to lab-grown meats- aided by AI- to mimic flavour and texture. Concerns grow however around the safety and ethics of these synthetic foods, and a movement begins to push back. A new space emerges, encouraging people to reconnect with tradition through the process of tofu making. Set within a former pumping station, this factory becomes a quiet act of resistance. From soaking to stirring, pressing to cutting, every step is transparent and communal. The space is a sanctuary- celebrating not just food, but nature, craft, and connection in a world dominated by artificial systems.
