Listen "Episode #02 | On Cooking Futures w/ Cocina CoLaboratorio"
Episode Synopsis
How can the kitchen become an arena for imagining and enacting alternative futures?
In conversation with Marianna Martinez Balvanera, we discuss the work of Cocina CoLaboratorio and together explore different arenas of practice, in which together with communities, researchers, artists and spatial practitioners, alternative ways of production and consumption are not only imagined, but enacted. This is achieved through cooking, eating, listening, discussing, and most importantly caring for our human and non-human communities.
Imagination is reframed as a disruption to the ordinary ways of operation, an active transformation of narratives, an arrow that frames a direction, and a collective effort of asking “How do we get there?”.
