Beans, Rinsed Twice follows tales, histories, memories and recipes tied up in a bean. How many stories can a recipe tell? And who do these stories belong to?
Through the personal and historical symbolism of a bean – and, consequently, the process of growing, harvesting and cooking this seed – the film will move between the collaborators’ own memories (in all their factual/fabricated dimensions), expanding on to speak of how we carry multiple places within us, the value of tacit knowledge and the possibilities for a reciprocal language of care.
Co-financed with funds from the Creative Europe Program and the project A-PLACE. Linking places through networked artistic practices.

Inês Neto dos Santos is a multi-disciplinary artist, working with food, people and spaces as metaphors for symbiotic relationships to our surroundings. Her practice moves between performance, installation and social sculpture, investigating the socio-political implications of what we eat and how we come to eat it – creating contexts through which to explore and discuss ecology, collaboration and togetherness. Recently, her research has taken her into the study of beans and their soil regeneration qualities, investigating their relationship to supported sustenance and care. Inês teaches, writes and cooks, having been a guest lecturer at Kingston University and Westminster University. Since March 2021, alongside artist Nora Silva, she co-leads the online course Food Cosmogonies.
