Even information

In the "Chicken or the Egg?" project, Sebastian Junge explores the role of chickens in regenerative farming and cuisine. Collaborating with Gut Haidehof in Wedel, Junge addresses issues arising from the industrialization of poultry egg production, designing sustainable and ethically sound alternatives to hybrid hens and roosters, and the difference their gender makes in the expected culinary role for the animal. 
During the preparation of chicken, eggs, and vegetables from Gut Haidehof, Sebastian Junge presents his visions. The discussion culminates in a shared lunch.

Further information

This project takes place in collaboration with the Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project. At the intersection of art, culture, social integration, science, and technology, it extends the so-called European Green Deal of 2019 to coastal areas.
The Bauhaus of the Seas Sails project calls for fostering collective and caring relationships between human and non-human actors to create sustainable, inclusive, and hopeful future perspectives. As a pilot city, Hamburg focuses on a regenerative menu created by selected fellows, exploring the impacts of extensive human interventions in nature and associated ecological changes on the Hanseatic food landscape. It uses speculative gastronomy as a tool to reimagine its future.
