Urban Recipes: Season Change

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. This work is part of the DCODE project. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 955990.
