* Keep some time to cut and fold

16h30 sharing what we did

"What do you eat when you need comfort?"

Many ideas!

Hormonobotanik?

• not big pharma, but recipe as methodology to quesiton gender (and other stuff)

dot Wiki?

What's a wiki?

• wikipedia but many wiki
• example of how do we arrange our space
• from ingredient to translation to recipe to workshop to external, space with many doors and always changing!

What will we be doing today?

• timeline reading

Web2print?

• "à la mano"
• material - many recipe instead of one fixed template conditionnned by tools
• social practice
• figuring out together

show the graph!

Screenprinting?

• flash
• ...

The things we use!

Ingredients to print

• Our post-it from the morning exercise, zoom in them, overlay them, cut them, duplicate them!
• Things you brought! Bite-sized recipes, inspiring quotes?
• Explore hormonobotanik.wiki, by phytohormonal ingredients? or by type of documents? export as .pdf or even screenshot them!
• Go to the External Ressources page, or flip through the books we brought for things to scan or redraw.

Questions that feeds us

• How can recipe become a methodology to question gender? Not only as a result to ingest, but as a process that ask intimate & situated transformative participation from us?
• What's our relationship to disgusting things: how bodies can be seen as disgusting, how we can nurture curiosity and wonder to disgusting textures or feelings in cooking?
• How do we translate and embed knowledge and stories inside of recipe, they become vessel for things and their shape can be many: litterary tutorial, visual representation, oral telling, gestural witnessing; on a post-it note, on a wiki, in a message to a friend, at the end of a diner, through a drawing, etc.

Ce que l'on demande aux personnes d'amener

• une recette importante pour vous, or anything that is a recipe for you
• it's like you bring an ingredient, we need to be able to cook it together, it shouldn't be too big, a "bitesize something"
• it could be une photo or a even memory

Si vous aimez travailler sur votre propre ordi bring it, since we will be looking at a wiki (website). Mais pas d'obligation, une grande partie du workshop sera collectif.
