April 14-May 12, 2025
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
Michael Pollan is an author, journalist, and filmmaker whose work has fundamentally changed the way we think about food, nature, and consciousness. Through bestselling books including The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, and Netflix shows, he has challenged industrial food systems and inspired a more thoughtful relationship to what we eat. In more recent years, How to Change Your Mind and A World Appears opened a broad public conversation about psychedelics, mental health, and the nature of consciousness.
During his residency at Résidence Tallard, Michael Pollan introduced his work to French audiences while finishing his latest book, A World Appears, and advancing a new written project on the microbiome for Audible. He took part in a Grand Entretien with Salomé Saqué at MK2 Institut, reaching 1000 participants in person and online. He also spoke at the American Library in Paris on ecology and consumption and hosted an intimate salon at the residence with Cédric Villani and Michael Chabon.
