As part of the research project on sound, ecology, and seaweed production, this video documents a collective baking session with a group of women who collect seaweed for a living in Sidi Bouzid on the Moroccon Atlantic coast. Baking sweets with agar powder, one of the many products generated from red seaweed, becomes an opportunity for conversations on seaweed life, marine ecology, and human labor.

The video shows the participative approach of the research project as one of the women, working with seaweed, hosted a collective baking session to experiment with agar powder. The binding quality of agar powder became effective not only on a chemical, culinary level, but also through the production of social interactions.
