Picture
We consume, eat, garden, harvest, cook, manipulate, breed, kill, poison and destroy. The cycles in agriculture and food production are complicated and sometimes absurd, our botanical inheritance is manipulated. We are witnessing sociological changes and lifestyle diseases brought by mass industry manufactured food production and consumption. All this seems to stand opposite to the growing desire for a natural world with regional, organic and artisan foods, the Slowfood and urban gardening movement and the preservation of biodiversity. All subjects seem discussed as independent, not related matters in the areas of agriculture, art, literature, science, health, education, philosophy and politics.
VITAL FORCES- FOOD IN CONTEXT is a think tank and event series exploring food culture as a cultural good in the past, present and future.  We seek to illuminate the connections and relationship of the diverse fields involved through the language of art in order to reach a larger audience outside the 'food bubble'.

SATELLITE BERLIN/ VITAL FORCES – FOOD IN CONTEXT invited to an open table talk discussion with guest experts Dr. Arndt Pechstein and Timo Kaphengst. Using the game idea of 'Memory' as a point of departure for discussion, we tackled our third think tank chapter NATURE AND RESOURCES: EARTH, WATER, FIRE AND AIR. During this lively evening, teams defined associations and problems and found solutions for the absurd cycles of modern food production, non-transparent processes in agriculture and food industry. Due to their extensive work experience, our guest speakers provided their knowledge of facts and on-going related research, as well as illuminate the interrelationship of the fields involved.

While enjoying a zero-kilometer-stew (= hearty winter stew with all regional organic ingredients straight from the farmers market), this was another successful table talk format, using the communal table for a non-hierarchical discussion.
