Jan Van Eyck Academie’s Nature Research and Food Lab

Sourdough Economy

Sourdough Economy
The Jan Van Eyck Academie’s Nature Research and Food Lab, represented in this lecture by Giulia Bellinetti and Marente van der Valk, share in a joint lecture their reflections on how natural processes of fermentation can inspire us to rethink of social and economic relations in an ecological sense. What would happen if we reframed economy as a concept related to dynamic processes of livelihood-making, rather than as a purely human framework legitimizing extractive, profit-driven relations? Giulia and Marente will invite the audience on a collective journey through their minds and tastebuds, to explore these questions and related works of fellow artists.
