Food & Stuff

 Who We Are? "Food & stuff "أكل و حاجات is a cultural project started in September 2016 and located in Alexandria, Egypt. The project aims to connect all kinds of cultural products (Cinema – Music – Theater – Literature, etc.) from all over the world and link them with one main motif: Food. We aim to merge all backgrounds and ethnicity in one cultural pot which will modestly help in reducing the fear of differences and make people more open to different ideas and beliefs.  What We Do? We organize events and create online content that mainly revolve around 4 models: • Model 1: Uno Culture In that model we walk audience through a particular culture, trying to show its beauty and richness through (Movies, Music, Poetry, Visual Arts, Etc.), Making audience know more about the culture through games and quizzes and of course serving them one of the popular dishes in that culture. • Model 2: Multi Cultures In that model we present many cultures that have something in common, historical & geographical relations in particular. • Model 3: Art & Artist In that model we show and discuss a work of art (Movie, Play, Photograph or painting...Etc.), then talk about its creator and his/her other works. • Model 4: Issues & Discussions In that model we tackle a topic that is related to our values, via organizing various types of events (Debates, Open talks, Clubs and Workshops...Etc.).  Why We Do It? • Locally (On the scale of Alexandria): We aim to show the cosmopolitan visage of Alexandria as a Historical city that contains many types of heritage and cultural backgrounds. • Globally: We aim to help in the peace building process globally by reducing fear. We believe that the source of Discrimination and demagogue is fear, once we break that fear -especially fear of differences- we will be able to reduce all types of discrimination and restrain demagogue speech that overtakes nowadays. We want to increase people's urge to accept new thoughts and backgrounds.
