BREAD AS SOCIAL SCULPTURE

Bread Houses Networks in Bulgaria is a very interesting organisation that connects people and cultures through bread. Bread used to be a very important part of Bulgarian culture but has slowly died and given way for white, commercial bread baked in one of four national bakeries. Bread Houses Networks wants ro reclaim not only the bread traditions with all its rituals and nutritious, delicious bread but also the sharing and aesthetics of bread making. I was invited there to do a workshop in Plovdiv and also made a bread book that is now installed in the newly refurbished bakery.
Thank you Nadia Savova Grigorova, Silviya Terziyska and Evgeni Mitev for being such wonderful hosts.

BAR RESIDENCY KIRKENES

Another research trip to Finnmark to collect more stories about Rømmekolle, the fermented milk culture unique to Norway originally cultured from leaves of Butterworth. Met some wonderful people  sharing their Rømmekolle stories and serving home made Rømmekolle made with milk from Ivar Øverli at the summer fair at Svanhovd. Thank you Pikene på Broen for yet another well organised and interesting journey.

EXPLORING HIGHLIGHTS



Why put art on the walls if you can eat it? Exploring Microcosmos at Schumacher College in Devon was a rich experience where bacteria met humans in a wonderful social fermentation. Food for the soul and for the eyes.
