FAQs
What are Climate Recipes?
They are concise, intimate, everyday instructions from architects, journalists, scientists, activists, artists, and farmers that suggest different ways of reorienting our vision for a flourishing planet. They are entry points for an adaptable life suggesting diverse ways of farming, foresting, sharing, listening, and living.
How do we gather them and present them?
We meet with the experts on land, environment, and climate and discuss their work. These conversations are synthesized into short recipes and presented through text, illustrative drawings, exhibitions, and public programs.
FAQs
What topics and areas have we covered so far?
We have interacted with experts in Goa whose work encompasses foraging, sustainable architecture, immunology, urban planning, and food histories, among others. Our ongoing Andhra Pradesh & Telangana edition brings together experts on natural farming, agroecology, water conservation, and biodiversity restoration. Our research in Bhitarkanika National Park focuses on balancing wildlife conservation with local development to unpack ways of sustainable coexistence.
Which editions are upcoming?
We are working towards an artists’ specific edition of Climate Recipes that introspects the material and climatic future of art. It will be presented at the Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts, Goa. The exhibition will accompany a comprehensive publication developed from conversations with artists, cultural thinkers, and organizations across the world. It will also mark the beginning of the Climate Recipes Lab to foster long-term conversations on climate, beyond the exhibition.
