Hi hi,

How are you?

I’d like to invite you to an upcoming workshop at telos.haus.

This Tuesday, May 12th, we’re hosting Cooking for the End of the World with Adriana Gallo. You can sign up here.

I am very excited for this collaboration. Last you heard from me, I decided to take telos off Instagram, but I made an exception just for this workshop.

What is Cooking for the End of the World, you may ask?

A talk and workshop dealing with ends of worlds and collapses of all kinds. We will begin with a talk on cooking for the end of the world: exploring the gastronomic logics of doomsday preppers, excavating lost culinary worlds, and looking critically at preservation methods (traditional and otherwise).

Following the talk, inspired by doomsday prepper kits and MRE’s, we will design our own bouillon broths from a selection of dried and powdered ingredients. Accompanying the broths will be a meal of ferments, preserves, and bread. The workshop will examine how we collectively and individually negotiate The End and how we express that through material relations and production.

We will theorise methods to facilitate a dignified, lively, and productive end in an exponentially accelerating, enclosing, and accumulating epoch. Speculating how to die well and how to cook for the end of the world.

I hope I’ll see you there.

mad and I started a rooftop garden. We DIY’d a picket fence that spans the width of the roof and a couple sub-irrigated planters. It’s been gratifying to have a private space to ourselves, watch kale germinate, and work on the garden day by day. This doesn’t have to do with the end of the world, to the extent that growing your own food ever doesn’t.

Have you started a rooftop garden before? Have any wisdom or seeds to share? I would love to hear from you.
