During this afternoon the Zapatista delegation shares their stories, practices and knowledges about how food sovereignty is organised in their territories. We discuss a diversity of related topics, such as seed commodification and access to land, and through this reflect on the organisation of our food systems. With various local initiatives and collectives also represented, we will exchange experiences of struggle and empowerment through food sovereignty.

Casco Art Institute: Casco is not currently wheelchair accessible. There is a bathroom in the office which is gender neutral and a (small) single stall. There is a somewhat larger, gender neutral single stall bathroom on the first floor of our building.

For those visiting the headquarters of Casco in Utrecht for the first time in Utrecht, we are located within Abraham Dolehof in the museum quarter of Utrecht’s historic city center. From Utrecht Centraal station, you can come by foot, bike, or by Bus 2, which takes between 10-20 minutes.
