Abstract

In this project I demonstrate how the world could have been different by portraying alternate historical realities, centered around food, to stimulate my audience to think about the choices they have in the present. The objective is to empower my audience to make mindful food choices today. The final outcome of this project is four stories and artifacts, corresponding to four distinct historical eras (including 1 future scenario), presented as parafiction. The project will be on display in the Cube Design Museum in Kerkrade, Netherlands.
