Bananas: A Wild Story is a zine by Keg de Souza that explores the banana as a site of cultural, political and ecological entanglement. From colonial plantations to contemporary supermarkets, this everyday fruit reveals a complex story of globalisation, labour exploitation, monoculture plantations and myth-making.
Moving between storytelling, critical theory and the botanical, this publication unpeels layers of meaning associated with this everyday fruit - examining its role in shaping histories of empire, racial capitalism and consumer desire - inviting readers to reconsider what it means to consume something so familiar, yet so deeply implicated in global systems of power.
