NEUE LEIPZIGER KÜCHE

Community art project – Leipzig 2009 – collaborators Carlos Leon-Xjimenez (Peru), Kristina Draskovic (Serbia) – http://neue-leipziger-kueche.blogspot.com/

The NLK is a participatory, public kitchen that proposes a new flavor for Germany that incorporates its migrant identities. Taking shape as large-scale public cooking events, it invites residents to use food to negotiate how an intercultural society could be built (from the kitchen table up). The project uses cooking to bring together, foreigners and native Germans, to collectively cook, experiment and discuss the complex question of immigration and diversity in Germany today.
