The effects of climate change as well as of war are impacting not only the worldwide supply with fossil fuels but also very basic food supply, especially in the global south. Proto-Club3 responds to the current crisis by bringing together two artistic perspectives on the complex question of how to treat and preserve food as our basic resource of survival.

During the Long Night of the Museums, artist Byungseo Yoo will establish a kitchen at Shedhalle. Visitors can witness and participate in introductions to fermentation, communal cooking as well as tasting and eating of course – and everyone can give something back in the framework of Byungseo Yoo’s CARE program.

Due to its unsettling actuality, we will also once again screen Dominique Kochs movie “Sowing the Seeds for the Future” (2020) that takes the history and activities of ICARDA (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas) as a starting point. ICARDA’s research goal is to prevent hunger crises as a result of droughts and other disasters. But it is itself also vulnerable to destruction. In this video project, the narrative modes mix and merge, culminating in a kind of “science-fictional poetry”.
