On September 19, 2024, bryant engaged in a public conversation with his longtime mentor, Alice Waters, moderated by Maggie Baird, at the Hammer Museum at UCLA. The dialogue centered on climate activism, situating dietary choice as both a cultural practice and a political intervention.

In advance of the program, terry and Waters collaboratively conceived a menu for Lulu Restaurant, treating the meal as an extension of the conversation itself. Drawing inspiration from the flavors, ingredients, and canonical dishes of the African Diaspora, alongside the seasonal bounty of Los Angeles, the menu functioned as an embodied argument, linking pleasure, sustainability, and ancestral knowledge.

Within bryant’s studio practice, the project exemplifies his use of food as a relational medium: a way to stage dialogue, model values-driven collaboration, and invite audiences to consider how eating can operate as an everyday act of care for both people and the planet.
