An Exchange of Sensitive Knowledge<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The project \"OPEN KITCHEN\" is based on the idea of an exchange of so-called \"sensitive knowledge\". We started these online exchanges between S\u00e3o Paulo and Stuttgart, as part of and in preparation for the City of women in 2023. The project is by Cond\u00f4 Cultural and Matriarchale Volksk\u00fcche in cooperation with Theater Rampe and Goethe-Institut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

The idea is to share our daily experiences and discussions about food, care, health and activism. In many traditions, the (private) kitchen was and still is a metaphor for the inessential and inferior. In contrast to that, feminist communities have reclaimed the \"kitchen work\" as essential, powerful - and even full of revolutionary potential: talking about food and eating together, means: satisfying existential needs, taking care of each other, practising pleasure and sensuality but also becoming aware of our own handling with nutrition and commodities. To occupy oneself with food means to give thought to the access to nutrition, to economic and ecological circumstances. It also means to give thought to the healing aspects of food, herbology, naturopathy and the spiritual and religious layer of cooking and eating together.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This knowledge is devalued by neoliberal societies, as it is opposed to the effort to monetize all common goods. It is often guarded by women, shared in hidden spaces, from kitchens to brothels for generations, sometimes without ever being written down - until it is needed by the many in times of crisis: Then, what was called gossip or witchery becomes wisdom: substantial work for survival.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are setting out to find and tell each other local recipes as strategies of care, we want to vitalize the power of knowledge of the communities, we want to collect wisdom and tools to survive social inequality and take care for those left out.<\/p>\n

We ask ourselves: Can we collect and learn to speak and share the knowledge of our communities in between each other?<\/span><\/h4>\n

New narratives for thinking society<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \"City of Women*\" is an assertion that questions the existing order and proposes new narratives for thinking society. In 2018, Theater Rampe declared the city of Esslingen the \"City of Women*\" for three days of performance. The Theater Rampe from Stuttgart, together with about 200 local and international artists*, initiatives and citizens* from Esslingen, organized a playful-theatrical rearrangement of things. Despite the strong emphasis in the title, the \"City of Women*\" is a city for everyone and excludes no one on the basis of gender. On the contrary: it questions the binary gender order and invites us to explore new narratives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following on from this, the \"City of Women*\" relies on appropriate contemporary, pop-cultural means and offers a platform for female and queer perspectives with a critical, emancipatory & undogmatic attitude.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This empowering concept should be given the opportunity to grow through an exchange with other women*: it can be adapted in many new places in other, appropriate formats, by initiatives, groups of artists* or institutions - with new interpretations, focal points and questions of the idea.<\/p>\n
