Future Bread is an interdisciplinary project by Dagna Jakubowska, founder of the Ferment House of Culture and Nature and the “New Space” Foundation. It combines culinary workshops with ecological education and artistic reflection on the future of food in the context of climate change and sustainable development. The project explores how bread of the future might look – made from local, crisis-resilient ingredients, with deep respect for nature and community.
Dagna Jakubowska – founder of the Ferment House of Culture and Nature and the “New Space” Foundation. Visual artist, theater director, producer, entrepreneur, and activist – working at the intersection of art, performance, scientific research, and social activism. In her work, she explores interspecies relationships, the politics of food, processes related to nourishment, and the politics of everyday life. In projects such as The Bread of the Future, The Edible Map of Migration, The Taste of Power: The Politics of Culinary Diplomacy, Kitchen Summit, and The Ukrainian Herbal, the kitchen becomes a political, innovative, subversive, and performative space – a place for debate and reflection on politics, economics, ecology, history, migration, and the ethics of domestic labor.
