Freezing Favela Freedom Food

Celebrate freedom in our temporary city

5 May 2013

Food from the Favelous chefs Andrea Sossi and Robert Bochove, and mushroom soup and fish from our aquaponics farm. We asked local neighborhood cooks which foods for them symbolize freedom, and they've come up with an exquisitely celebratory menu.

Favelous - Some of our events are catered by local neighborhood cooks. The cook sets a price for his or her meal, cooks either at home or at our place, and sells the food to our visitors. Depending on how big the event is, we invite one or multiple cooks. All proceeds go the chef. Erik Diekstra

Way to Mediamatic on May 5, 2013 - Follow the pink dotted line to reach us on Bevrijdingsdag (May 5) 2013. The area along the waterside belongs to Stormer, our neighbors. They have been so kind as to let us make use of this route since the usual pathway on the north side is blocked.
