LU’UM joined “You promised me a city - a conference for experimental urban development” as part of the workshop program.

We organized saved ingredients and brought them to the table alongside questions around care-practice within the framework of city development. Together with all other participants we decided what to cook with the available ingredients. We were interested in the questions whether we can see the process of common cooking as an analogy to urban decision making and if a displaced confrontation can help us to overcome deep rooted conversational dynamics.

The event took place in around 3 hours on a long table in an allotment garden as a relational performative action. An intuitive investigation towards new modes of collaborative decision making. Besides the cooking, the table top we were sitting at, has been used to note down and capture recipes and the essential parts of the conversation.
