Workshop with: Dubravka Vrdoljak, food activist and food scientist, and Rosa Gasparoli, cultural anthropologist and production manager in a work integration kitchen
Together, Dubravka Vrdoljak and Rosa Gasparoli combine culinary heritage, performative formats and participatory exhibitions with questions of food security, tradition and community coexistence. They see food, its processing and consumption, as a unifying cultural practice.
The starting point is the emergency canning mobile, which is used with the findings of research into old (Sicilian) canning techniques. Preserving is a performative "learning by doing" in which smells, tastes and hand movements are reproduced and visitors are invited to participate.
Free admission, participation possible at any time (incl. admission to the exhibition)
Please bring your own preserving jars
There is a cooperation with the Foodsave Banquet Basel. Some of the filled preserving jars from the workshop will therefore be donated to the Foodsave Bankett Basel on Unterer Rheinweg on September 12, 2026. On this day, admission to the exhibition is also free from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
