The MACBA Kitchen with Marina Monsonís, S A V V Y Contemporary, b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN and Wilde 24

Here in The MACBA Kitchen we’ve been cooking up, slowly, a way of going about things based on caring, alliances and co-learning. At this Open Kitchen session, we meet up with other kitchens that, like ours, inhabit arts spaces on the basis of radicalism, community and everyday gestures. We sit down together to share flavours and challenges, and imagine futures that are already cooking. 

When we set up the MACBA Kitchen project, we had no points of reference for spaces of this kind in a museum context. Ours was a kitchen without a kitchen: we started by installing a fridge in Classroom 0, the place where the museum kitchen is, and gradually, by using it and insisting, we ended up turning the classroom into a place for dining and culinary co-learning with the aim of taking part in initiatives aimed at agro-ecological change. Over time, we have forged alliances in both local and international contexts. Recently we have been lucky enough to get to know kitchens in other cities that, with all their singularity and differences, are very close to our philosophy and way of doing things. These kitchens share the difficulty, the challenge and perhaps the success of having kept going over a – relatively – long time within arts organisations. 

At this Open Kitchen session, we invite you to cook and have an afternoon snack together, and to discover three projects and the presentation of a culinary fanzine. The kitchen of S A V V Y Contemporary, Berlin, an anti-racist cooking scheme with a critical, community approach that places care and affection centre stage. The b.ASIC a.CTIVIST k.ITCHEN at BAK-basecamp, Utrecht, with a trajectory of creative and sustainable practices, in alliance with autonomous and solidarity-based culinary projects. And a third kitchen, in contrast with the others, outside the museum, radical and collective: that of the Wilde 24 space in Berlin.
