In \u003cem\u003eSalted Earth\u003c\/em\u003e, artist and researcher Katy Beinart offers a fresh perspective, exploring the poetics of salt. Through a series of journeys to South Africa, Lithuania and Russia, Portugal, and Haiti, Beinart and her collaborators investigate the everyday rituals and cultural meanings of salt in diverse contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn her work, salt becomes a medium through which large-scale histories of migration, trade, empire, slavery, and colonialism—as well as deeply personal relationships, emotional geographies, memory, and intercultural connections—are symbolised and reimagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on fiction, poetry, and visual art, alongside family history, travel writing, trade archives, and artistic process, Beinart builds a rich, interdisciplinary portrait of salt as both a material and a cultural symbol.
