Women on Air present: Globale Dialoge

In this episode, we talk about the Ollas Comunes in Chile. It can be translated as Solidarity Kitchens but it’s way more than that. How Pili describes it: “it’s a huge pod that everybody can eat from.” It’s about taking action in times of crises, about empowerment, and about learning how to self-organize. It’s feminist, it’s resistance, it’s powerful. And it has a longer history but started to bloom again in the recent crises connected to the repression during the 2019 revolte and the corona-pandemia. It’s the collective jumping in to find solutions for the problems of many individuum in times of crises – but not just in form of charity or rationed food-packages. How the collective cooking in a public place can cause all that and more will be discussed here.
