Project Neighborhood kitchen Küchenschiff [Kitchen ship] more > >
In a world dominated by consumerism and capital, many residents of Matzleinsdorf have no time, money, or space left to meet up in their neighborhood, build connections there, or enjoy any consumption. Inspired by the emancipatory concepts of “Red Vienna” – such as the “Volksküche” [people’s kitchen] or the “Einküchenhaus” [one-kitchen house] – the project by students from the Department of Social Design, under the direction of Brigitte Felderer aims to address current problems with this project.
