Food Lab Gatherings at Lola Lokaal
Fresh Stalls is launching a new series of community events at Lola Lokaal in IJburg to explore the connections between food, culture, health, and sustainability. The aim is to create informal, welcoming gatherings where cooking and eating together become a starting point for conversation.
For each event, selected guest chefs—artists and cultural practitioners—will invite participants to prepare a dish together. The shared meal will open up dialogue around their work, experiences, and the social or cultural themes they wish to bring into the neighborhood.
From late January to late June, we will host one gathering per month for small groups of up to 25 people. These are not formal art events, but convivial social occasions designed to connect IJburg residents, Lola Lokaal co-workers, and the wider community through food and storytelling.
Format:
One event per month
Three-hour sessions
Collective cooking, followed by discussion
Optional film screening
Solidarity tickets to cover costs and support the guest contributors
Join us to cook, eat, and exchange ideas—one meal at a time.
