Dear All,

For the coming talks by Mr. John Thackara and Ms. Elaine Ann, Philipp and I have posted their brief biographies one the common MIRO board.  Please take note of that. 

See you all soon in the coming Tuesday soon!

Well, I’m a vegetarian, and protein becomes one of my considerations when choosing my food. The picture below is Tofu skin and noodles with vegan X.O. sauce beyond meat. As I want to eat healthily, veggies become an essential part of my meal. Sometimes greens, sometimes melons, and sometimes tomatoes. I like eating alone or say, cooking alone because I can choose what to eat from various combinations and make everything simple. 

As requested.. this is the meal I dedicated only to myself.
It’s nothing fancy but still…

(Pasta with leftover pumpkin, eggplant and courgette)

Also concerning our meeting next Tuesday, unfortunately I have to let you know I’ll be missing the lecture of John Thackara because I have to attend a teaching assistance training at that time. I’ll of course still do the little task we’re asked to do until then and I’m sure that Alessa, Matilda and Renee will give me some insights later on. I’ll also join the meeting on Tuesday as soon as I’m able to, but that will most probably not be until 3-4pm.

All the best!
Marius

Please check our board for the small task we ask you to do for next Tuesday:

In case you have time and are interested: have a look at the Rituals of Change Workshop II – The Good Stuff Doesn’t Sit Still.

You need to get a ticket – but especially for our Kimchi-lovers a must-see. Would be cool if you could join!

Dear All,

For your information. 

There will be a talk about Vegetarian Diet on the 24 Nov (13:00 HK time), perhaps you would be interested in attending……..?

After today´s intense meeting that needs to be digested please use the Miro to collect some ideas…You can make personal spaces or pinboards if you want to.

It is important that from the very beginning we all share what we do…

For the next meeting, we kindly ask you to do the following:

  • Sharpen your awareness of everyday situations related to food. Observe yourself, reflect. If possible, take notes, photos, do some sketches, just write down some keywords. First of all: for yourself.
  • Choose one meal in the next days that you dedicate to yourself. As we discussed based on Dolly´s talk “Start by learning to be in good company with yourself. Mindful eating!”. Take one photo of this meal – can be very simple. Share it on KISDspace and tag it with “eating with myself”
  • As a team, think about a name for your team, as numbers are not so abstract and keep the distance in and between the teams.
  • I will share with you a very quick home/fieldwork (an object to bring to the Miro) from John Thackara.
  • To prepare for his lecture, look at his website, and check his reading list. Browse at least what you think might be interesting. It is a chance to meet him!

Please find the video of Dolly Daous talk and our discussion here:

If you want to meet as a team, just use KISDpsace here to announce when you want to meet… I enjoyed our first meeting a lot – stay open, stay hungry, and trust in this phase of “the unknown”.

Heres the Zoom details again in case you’re unable to get in.

Hi there! I’m Heidi from PolyU Design Strategies. I’m a local vegetarian, if you want to check out where to find good veggie options, just pink me. I can share my bucket list with you! Besides, I’m running an Instagram account to share veg food options in Hong Kong. Because the image of being vegan or with a plant-based diet is still very old fashion here. So what i want to do is to make use of social media to inspire people with good, new style veg food. 

If you are interested, just follow me on Instagram: Vegmap 😉

 

Dear all,

As what Philipp had mentioned, we (also ‘Dumpy’) are longing to meet you all tomorrow!  

The joint project will center around the challenges and opportunities of the issues of ‘changing habits during the Covid pandemic’ and ‘food value (ecological, economical, social/societal…) which we all are confronting and anticipating at the moment, and still likely to encounter in a foreseeable future.

In this international joint project, students from various cultural backgrounds (gathered from both KISD and PolyU Design HongKong) would require to team up (3-4 persons per group) and respond to the following questions with a critical, provocative design:

  • How relevant are local cultural heritages to the challenges of food production, waste, and safety?
  • How could a food preparing, cooking, or dining experience at home become enjoyable yet meaningful at the midst of (and after) the COVID-19 pandemic?
  • How would such experiences be conducted and promoted eco-friendly, effectively, efficiently, and economically among family members, friends
    and personal social networks?
  • How does digitalization influence the way we prepare, enjoy, and share food/meals, and which new opportunities, practices, and habits emerge?

We will meet every Tuesday at 1200 UTC (1300 Cologne or 2000 HK) – and occasionally on some Thursdays.

Our Miro board can be found here: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kg7u6Js=/

We meet online in zoom at http://zoom.us/j/5504004040  using the code 2020 (new!)

Here we collect all about the team … to get to know each other without physically meeting!

During our project, we have the pleasure of having external experts and expertise in some of our meetings… Feel free to suggest, dive deep into the presented expert(ise), add and contribute.

Those are John Thackara, Dolly Daou, Danielle Wilde, and Elaine Ann.

No query required.
