myvillages at kitchen 139
(05 December 2011)
Kitchen139 is a ten-day communal kitchen experiment. Each dinner will be prepared by a diversity of social and cultural initiatives that will cook for each other and for the guests.
Wapke from myvillages.org will be there on Wednesday 7th December, alongside Ask! Actie Schone Kunst & Girls Like Us. Join if you happen to be in A-dam.
European Mobility
(02 January 2012)
myvillages.org is a partner in a EU funded mobility scheme - the Eco Nomadic School - that allows for different networks to meet and exhchange knowledge. A first trip went to Todmorden (UK) to see the Incredible Edible project, the second trip takes us to mountainous common land in Rumania in early January. A trip to Frankonia will take place later in the year, focusing on women - and in particular strong women - in villages. Watch out!

The larder is empty
(21 January 2012)
You might have been following our 15 months long endeavor to fill a larder to then feed 5000 (it was 8000 in the end). The project was called Vorratskammer, and went public during the Über Lebenskunst Festival in Berlin in August 2011. We are now working on a 40 minute documentary - together with Martin König in Berlin, and a publication - together with Clare Cumberlidge, London and Kristina Brusa, Leipzig. Both to be launched in early summer. And there will be some food again.
