Chaos Supermarket
interactive brunch
12 october
10:00 - 12:30
By Alina Turdean / Eat Your Feelings
Eat Your Feelings invites you to a playful brunch experience in which themes such as money, health, climate, equality, safety and technology are literally put on the table. By playing with food, we explore how cooperation can arise around everyday challenges.
We set a table decorated like a food co-op shop. Access to certain ingredients for your brunch is only possible through your own currency, negotiation or exchange. Participants must work together to ensure that everything is distributed fairly, following steps that help to create order in the carefully directed culinary chaos.
We turn this brunch into an adventure full of play, conversation and collaboration, celebrating collectivity and discovering what can happen when we don't avoid chaos, but embrace it together.
Come brunch, play with your food and discover an alternative food economy.

How can we find new ways of working together towards a better future? During engage 2025, we will explore this question through a series of workshops. As the Creative Research Crew, we will look for alternative perspectives on Cool Zuid from various creative angles. We will test ways in which local residents, creators and doers can work together more effectively.
Each workshop in this series generates material that we will use in subsequent sessions: from stories and newspapers to neighbourhood maps and posters. In this way, we’ll be building a collective research project step by step, with room for experimentation, imagination and discussion.
Whether you are a neighbourhood resident or not, whether you join for one session or take part in the entire series—everyone's perspective and contributions are welcome. Together, we will create a multifaceted picture of the neighbourhood and of the ways in which we can continue to work together in the future.
