COOKING SECTIONS

Artistic duo Cooking Sections (Daniel Fernández Pascual & Alon Schwabe) conducts a media and widespread campaign in the urban spaces of Rome to raise public awareness on the impact of food production and consumption on the climatic climate crisis.

The Becoming Climavore campaign will respond to this urgency, involving policy makers, activists, local communities and artists, activating an international collaborative network and contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda – SDG 2: Achieving food security and better nutrition; SDG 13: Acting for the climate; SDG 14: Life below water.
 

WHAT DOES CLIMAVORE MEAN?
CLIMAVORE is an international project started in 2015 and dedicated to the exploration of the relationship between climate emergency and the way we eat.
Omnivore, carnivore, vegan, locavore… CLIMAVORE recognizes that new ‘seasons’ are emerging. The lines between spring, summer, autumn and winter are increasingly blurred, while periods of ocean pollution, land depletion, subsidence, pandemics and drought are increasingly frequent.
 

HOW BECOMING CLIMAVORE?
-15^th and 30^th June 2021 - How can a city become CLIMAVORE?

-14 October 2021 – Palazzo delle Esposizioni and The Orchestras of Transformation present Cooking Sections Becoming CLIMAVORE
On 14 October in the Auditorium of Palazzo delle Esposizioni, on the occasion of the final session of the Festival of Sustainable Development organized by ASviS, CLIMAVORE project is presented by the curators of The Orchestras of Transformation with the contribution of the chefs Roberta Virgilio of the Caffè delle Esposizioni and Alessandro Circiello of the Ristorante Esposizioni.

The chef Alessandro Circiello of the restaurant Esposizioni joined the project and became CLIMAVORE by removing the salmon definitively from his restaurant menu.

At the end of September, on Turner Prize 2021 nomination recurrence, the Cooking Sections launched a network of over 20 institutions in the UK (including TATE and Serpentine Galleries) that propose CLIMAVORE menus in their restaurants.

Therefore, the Italian campaign wants to symbolically open to other museums, foundations, and Italian contemporary art centers that will adopt the CLIMAVORE philosophy in their bars, restaurants, or catering services management.
