V: Comida e o Feminino

COFI BREIQUE V : Food and the Feminine

02.07.2017   .   RED BULL STATION   .    15h30

 

:::::: Our coffee will arrive in São Paulo! COFI BREIQUE V will be about Food and Feminine and will take place on the slab of Red Bull Station, in Praça da Bandeira! 

The debate on food and the feminine is urgent and profound. The industry that separates us from the nutrition of the world is the same industry that separates us from this power to be viscerally and ancestrally nourishers of the world. The power to nurture is antagonistic to the submission of women's place in society, and is from an attitude of deep reconnection with female energy and science. The woman who invents beer is no longer seen as a consumer. Fast food and ultra processing make use of a distorted feminist narrative to fill shelves and intoxicate our relationships, respect and honor for the entire planet and food sovereignty. 

To speak of Food and the Feminine is to delve into the feminine force at its origin, to rescue a power that we never cease to have, and which is part of an attitude that nourishes the world and of understanding itself as cyclical. This feminine gaze is plural, fundamental. With what we eat we change the world. How we eat we change the world. 

The food is female. 

See you there? check out the wonderful women who will be with us! Loose conversation circle, eye to eye, as everything that is profound should be... :::::::::
