baking solidarity
2024-2025
poetcs of craft, participation, imagining common space
In the context of contemporary neo-liberal Western societes, what is the meaning of
solidarity? In what soil does it grow? Where does it come from and how to cultivate it? How do individual and collective cultures interact? In this project I am looking for its sources and exploring its expressions in various communites of
resistance, through baking.
The performative research is based on participative observation and experience in: baking structure of the
squatted community of Prosfygika, Athens; self-managed bakery Le Pain Levé, Brussels;
people’s kitchen of the neighborhood of Lentillères, Dijon, self-organized collective bakery in Café Da Tony, Merelbeke, and others.
