On the following day after the trip to Hellersdorf, we will gather for a communal meal at nGbK am Alex. Join the artists for a feast featuring herbal infusions, prepared using the plants, flowers, and fruits picked the previous day in Hellersdorf and hear about work of Myvillages and the Rural School of Economics. Centring on ingredients drawn from ‘Rural Undercurrents’ research and from Gutsgarten, we will also share a feast celebrating summer produce and cooked by Municipal Kitchens’ food curator, Cherry Truluck.

Myvillages, established by the artists Kathrin Böhm, Wapke Feenstra, and Antje Schiffers in 2003, focuses on the cultural production in and of rural spaces. The initiative challenges the cultural dominance of cities by highlighting rural practices, mindsets, and locations as significant cultural actors. Myvillages’ work spans diverse projects that explore resources, practices, and knowledges in the countryside that respond to challenges related to urbanization and the environment. Through international and trans-local collaborations, Myvillages fosters a new dynamism in understanding and engaging with the countryside, not as a backdrop but as an active cultural ground for artistic operation and critical inquiry.

Note on accessibility from the work group Municipal Kitchens:
Cooking and eating together is a shared language all of its own, so if you don’t feel confident with the spoken language(s) available at this event, please know you are still so welcome. We have multiple ways of sharing and we look forward to greeting you. We want everyone to be able to access our events, if there are any barriers to you joining us that we haven’t already tackled, please get in touch and we will do our best to support you. This includes providing childcare at daytime events (we will need at least one week’s notice).
