Kom mee-eten, luisteren en praten tijdens deze bijzondere bijeenkomst op maandag 9 december 2019 bij BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht, voortgekomen uit een samenwerking tussen the Basic Activist Kitchen en uitgeverij Chaos.

‘Comfort Food: Five Courses and Storytelling’ is een intieme luisteravond in vijf gangen, om elkaar te ontmoeten, verhalen te delen en samen te eten.

Vijf storytellers nemen de keuken over en gaan in op vragen als:
Wat kreeg je vroeger voorgeschoteld van je ouders/verzorgers als je ziek was? Wat werd er voor je gemaakt om je op te beuren als je verdrietig was? Aan welke maaltijd denk je terug met warme gevoelens? Wat smaakt er altijd goed, wat proeft er naar liefde?

Elke gang wordt geserveerd met een bijpassend verhaal door de storytellers. Deze verhalen in combinatie met de smaken van elk gerecht vormen een vijfgangenmaaltijd waar je de beleving, herinneringen en liefde van de storytellers kunt proeven!

Programma:
Deuren open 18.30 uur
Start diner 19.00 uur

Come and join us to eat, listen and share stories during this special collaboration between the Basic Activist Kitchen and publishing house Chaos, on Monday 9 December at BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht!

“Comfort Food: Five Courses and Storytelling” is an intimate listening evening gathered around long tables to meet each other, share stories and enjoy a meal together.

Five storytellers take over the kitchen and share their personal food stories and memories, going into questions such as:
What dish did your parents/caregivers serve you when you were sick? What was made for you to cheer you up when you felt sad? Which meal do you remember with warm feelings? What tastes good always, what tastes of love?

Each storyteller cooked up a story, one for every course served to the guests. The dishes are infused with the flavors of each storyteller’s memories and experiences; originating from a place of comfort and love.

Program:
Doors open 18.30 hrs
Start dinner 19.00 hrs

Tickets: €10 normal 7.50 student discount
Please note: there is a limited amount of spots available.

The Basic Activist Kitchen, initiated by Jeanne van Heeswijk, is run by a group of Utrecht-based activists, artists, and researchers with backgrounds in theatre, art, squatting, organizing, anthropology, history, and gender studies. They collaborate with Food for Good, La Cucina Nomade, Willem Geertman Art and Culture Collective, niet normaal*, Uitgeverij Chaos, Revolutionaire Eenheid, Kritische Studenten Utrecht, Asia Komarova (Casco and the Outsiders), Bikewars, Taste Before You Waste, Eva Bullens (Collective Practice), VOKO Utrecht and others. Each week, different individuals and collectives are invited to take over the kitchen and engage their respective practices and networks in the activity of communal cooking. Next to cooking, the BAK organizes skill sharing workshops and facilitates fellow activists and organizers to organize their own events in the exhibition space.
