Towards Resilience: A Manual in Support of the Immune System
Towards Resilience: A Manual in Support of the Immune System was put together in just over two weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to concerns about the lack of information on diet provided to those self-isolating during the pandemic, Dana compiled a manual including recipes in support of the immune system, and suggestions for promoting wellbeing. Fascinated by healing systems from around the world, and noticing their intersection, she draws upon time-tested health remedies from Eastern Europe, and alternative therapeutic systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
With COVID-19 highlighting the systemic failings that disproportionately affect underserved minorities, including people of colour, Towards Resilience focuses on industrial agriculture’s disastrous effects on land and humans - enabled by neoliberal governments and corporations’ pursuit of economic growth. By drawing parallels between the state of the planet during the Anthropocene, and the equivalent effects on our bodies, the manual brings attention to the necessity of remaining critical and aware of the multiple factors that dictate our lives, and looking beyond the personal comfort zone.
