Urban Kitchen is chosen as the entry point to explore and re-discover the urban living environment. It can be understood both literally and metaphorically, as participants are expected to utilize the term as an approach towards more critical urban issues. The discourse on food cycle in the creative society (ie. artists, designers, architects) is a vital point in re-discovering our remaining connection with the nature, especially from the perspective of urban citizens as the primary consumer of livestock and farm harvest.
