prometheus_
open food lab
A cultural device for the exploration of the edible* potential of remote** places.
Restoring the ecological role of humans in landscapes*** through food.
prometheus_ acts as a catalyst in the regeneration of neglected places through tailored strategies that involve:
_explorations: structured scientific and artistic investigation of landscapes
_consultancy and product development for local businesses
_lectures and tasting events in collaboration with local partners
_residency programmes for chefs, artists, researchers
_workshops design revolving around food and the landscape
*edible is anyting that can be potentially eaten (with calcuated harm for the human organism). Not everyting that is edible is food, which is a narrow selection applied by any culture at any time. Not everything that a culture considers food is necessarely edible.
**intended not only as far away in time and space (Cambridge dictionary- remote) but also doomed to remoteness by a state of mind that neglects their relevance. A place where the cultural tools to understanding are no longer active.
Some are as big as whole regions, some others they are the size of a courtyard.
***the sum of the human activities and their relations with the natural environment.
