Urban Recipes: Season Change

Urban Recipes explores complex ecologies in the city. By combining the spatial experimentation of drifting with the recursive practice of recipe making, Urban Recipes opens up a space for new ways of noticing and relating to both humans and nonhumans in everyday urban environments.

Sensing changing seasons

For millennia, seasons have influenced how humans migrate, shelter, and harvest food, shaping how we relate to time and place. Yet in the face of climate change, we are forced to cope with increasingly extreme weather events and, as a result, develop an altered sense of the canonical seasons.

Urban Recipes: Season Change presents a series of recipes inspired by non-western traditions of seasonal rhythms, such as the Chinese 24-Solar Terms, and invites curious audiences to reflect on the effects of the changing climate and seasons, while taking a stroll in the city of Eindhoven.
