The exhibition FOOD: Bigger than the Plate investigates the bigger story behind our food, from compost to table. By zooming in on stories of innovative individuals, societies and organisations, the exhibition aims to focus on a radically new way of eating. Attention is given not just to producing food, but also to the way we experience food on a personal level.
This interactive exhibition allows you to discover all aspects of the food universe, from gastronomic experiments to urban farming.
Curators Catherine Flood and May Rosenthal Sloan invited Koen Vanmechelen to present his Cosmopolitan Chicken Project and Planetary Community Chicken Project.
Food, the energy the human animal needs, is an inescapable and collective challenge. If we want to survive, finding new ways to share fair and sustainable food reflecting local and global diversity, is a must. Sharing food is sharing stories, identities, and experiences. It is crossing our boundaries to celebrate our common descent. This I learned from the chicken. CCPPCC is about two farms, connecting global and local, diversity and productivity.
