In the summer of 2011, the Kulturstiftung des Bundes hosted "Über Lebenskunst", a festival of culture and sustainability, in cooperation with the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) in Berlin. Über Lebenskunst aims to identify several different approaches to the issues of sustainable living in the 21st century, and of sustainability as a cultural tool that can be developed and integrated through practice. The food and drink for the 8,000 festivalgoers was provided by the Vorratskammer / Pantry, an art project from myvillages.org.
The concept of the Vorratskammer / Pantry goes far beyond the simple act of eating: it has to do with how food is collected, its origins, the way it is traded and exchanged, and its history. All of these elements are part of this project. Producing and eating food is considered a cultural and social activity that is closely intermingled with farming and processing traditions, as well as land use, but also with living in modern cities and topics as sustainability, environment, food processing and (over-)consumption. This publication gives an overview of this interesting art project by myvillages.org.
