My favourite namesake, Charlotte Cooper – queer fat researcher, writer, thinker, doer etc, has set up a new blog and twitter account to provide up to date information on the queer chub harvest festival, Fat of the Land.

The Fat of the Land is a secular DIY fat queerifying of a traditional harvest gathering. These are a familiar part of the calendar for those of us who grew up in Britain, but we acknowledge that many cultures have their own harvest festival equivalent and we welcome multicultural interpretations of the theme.

The Fat of the Land is a DIY food festival, synthesizing interest in slow food, recession-busting, local food, ‘make-and-do’ etc with a fat queer sensibility.

The Fat of the Land will take place, Saturday 3 October 2009 at St Anne’s, 55 Dean Street, Soho, London. Keep up to date, informed and get ready to celebrate.

Charlotte
