> subtitleAbout
The Creative Food Cycles installation explores one of the great themes of sustainability that involves our daily life, that of food surpluses and the experiences in which these become new material - from organic food waste to the creation of new industrial materials - and food waste and packaging turns into real products for consumers.
The necessary radical change for the pursuit of sustainable development objectives requires a creative attitude capable of reinterpreting the reality that surrounds us and the objects of everyday life. Among these, the issue of food waste represents a fertile field both for experimentation and for a full understanding of the relationship between ethical elements and new aesthetic dimensions. Considering food waste as an opportunity to develop new products and materials is an urgency, to which architects, designers and artists are called to respond, setting up new project experiences that start from discarded products and waste, to become resources, and making what is sustainable more attractive thanks to a design based on creativity and conviviality. The inclusion of the widest possible audience in this process also makes it possible to bring the themes of the circular economy into the activities of everyday life. The goal of the Food Shakers | Food Remakers installation is to explore the process that takes food from consumption to disposal, offering new potentialities of meaning and spatial combination in the reinterpretation of design, but also to explore the experiences in which food surpluses they become new material - from organic food waste to the creation of new industrial materials - and food waste and packaging are transformed into real products for consumers.
The exhibition in the Cisternone spaces of the Department of Architecture and Design shows the prototypes designed during the Food Shakers | Food Remakers workshop, as part of the Creative Food Cycles (CFC) project. The designers who participated in the design of the prototypes will interact during the installation with the public, involving them in interactive activities and stimulating understanding of the issues addressed. The installation is part of the “Festival della Scienza” program. The Festival della Scienza is an annual thematic event held annually between the end of October and the beginning of November in Genoa from 2003. Every year the program presents exhibitions, workshops, interactive educational courses, photographic and artistic exhibitions, conferences, tables rotundas, workshops, theatrical performances, musical performances and film screenings are organized throughout the city of Genoa during the festival.
In 2006, when it had 250,000 visits, the Science Festival was selected, the only Italian initiative among the ten best events selected in 31 countries in the field of promoting scientific and technological culture at European level.
