Land in Cans: Pacific Flavors of Adaptation and Resilience

The global temperature continues to increase and cause further sea level rise in the years to come. By 2050, all territories of Tuvalu will be submerged. With the urgent need to maintain national identity and statehood, the government of Tuvalu has collaborated with the Land in Cans Co-Op to establish a pilgrimage to the homeland as well as the production and worldwide distribution of Instant Tuvuluan cuisine by reappropriating existing infrastructures and global networks, particularly those facilitating the movement of people and goods. This industry introduces an operation that fosters a novel form of assembly and reunion: an annual pilgrimage and weeklong celebration at the site of Tuvalu’s Funafuti Port, a joyful diasporic homecoming that involves collective cooking, meal sharing, and cultural production.
