Diego is a wild-food advocate based in Sydney, most famous for his urban foraging workshops. He works to enable convivial conversations around belonging, sustainability and agency.
Diego collaborates extensively with chefs, herbalists, environmentalists and cultural workers promoting new understanding of what the environment has to offer.
Through sharing the old stories and flavours, Diego offers an alternative way for people to re-engage with their neighbourhoods and ecologies.
Diego’s exhibitions and commissions have included Foodfight (a C3West commission in partnership with the MCA and Liverpool Council, Sydney, 2016); The Rocks Windmill, Sydney (2013, workshops and public sculpture); Wild Stories (two years of workshops and a solo show, Casula Powerhouse Art Centre, 2012); and State of the Arts (group exhibition, Italian Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2011).
