Glædelig #Klimahandledag 🌱
I dagens anledning, har jeg delt lidt forskellige starterkulturer ud til fermentering i #Aarhus - fordi det, at kunne fermentere sine egne mad og drikke, er en rigtig stærk redskab til at spise mere klimavenligt 💚 Blandt andet i det fødevarefællesskab, jeg er med i, samt på Risskov bibliotek, hvor jeg holdte workshop om at bruge fermentering til at spise mere lækker plantebaseret protein 🧆

A long table with different types of jars with small labels on top. In the background is a bag of mushroom-growing starter and guides
Several tables of people in a big room with many round lights hanging from the ceiling and large bright windows with green space outside. One person stands near a table talking.

The council is brainstorming with the local community about how to develop an underused mid-city area. On the ideas website, someone has proposed converting the underground space into a bomb shelter with a community space above that signals the seriousness of the place, but also 'hope and survival'. Because there are too few shelters at a time when war threatens.

It struck me that this ’Homage to Putin and Trump’ idea would once have seemed a bit Boaty McBoatface. Now it seems normal.

Screenshot from Aarhus Kommune website (Aarhus council, Denmark) where locals can post ideas for the development of an area in the Aarhus K cultural and mixed-used neighbourhood. The proposal paraphrased in the toot is highlighted, with other suggestions in the background. The person has titled their suggestion ’Homage to Putin and Trump’. Full text follows in the original Danish: ”Forpladsen foran Scandinavian Center, som nu primært er en parkeringsplads, vil skulle have sin helt egen stærke identitet og funktion, hvis den skal blive til et folkeligt aktiv. Nøgleordet er tryghed - i en tid, hvor krigen igen har bemægtiget sig Europa og en tid, hvor vi igen må regne med, at de store og stærke blot gør som de vil og de små og svage må tåle det, de skal. Parkeringskælderen bør derfor ombygges til beskyttelsesrum og overfladen (den nuværende p-plads) bør udformes, så den dels yder maksimal beskyttelse og dels så den fortæller om, hvad den gemmer. Der er for få beskyttelsesrum i Aarhus midtby og behovet er derfor stort. Der bør udskrives en konkurrence blandt arkitekter og kunstnere om at give pladsen (beskyttelsesrummets tag) en udformning og et udtryk, som både rummer sagens alvor og det håb, der knytter sig til at overleve, trods alt.”

Glædelig mandag. Only a sort-of Monday for those of us in countries with an Easter bank holiday. I think I’ll spend my day off imagining all the things our countries could be spending our money on instead of new weapons and cybersecurity to defend us from Russia and the US. All those billions suddenly found. Imagine if we spent them instead on a four-day week every week. And Universal Basic Income. Anyway, here’s a postcard from #Aarhus to wish you a good week, no matter how many days are in it.

Filling the lower half of our view: the top of a fence made of black vertical wooden planks. Above it: a winter sunset falling over Aarhus city. The city is 30 metres below us. We are in the café gardens on Salling Rooftop. Above the fence, we see the top of the city looking towards the harbour and woods on a coastal hill. The clock tower spire and distinctive green roof of Aarhus cathedral – Domkirken – dominate the view. Beyond it, glowing in the setting sunlight, giant industrial cranes and buildings in the Aarhus Ø docklands area. Including Denmark’s tallest building: the narrow oblong 142-metre tall Lighthouse apartment block. Above it all, an unusually bright white moon shines in the otherwise empty sky.

A gift-giving ceremony where strangers exchange resources, both physical things and help. You say what you want and what you can give. A spare phone. To learn to play the guitar. Flower seeds. Help to repair something.

Kudos to the good people who organise events like these and open them up to everyone. Open-source community. The opposite of enshittification. The opposite of oligarchy.

Speaking of community, thanks to @dukop & @seraf for spreading the word.

Glæder mig til denne gaveceremoni på #turkis #aarhus 🌱💚

De seneste år har jeg øvet mig i at give og modtage gaver i hverdagen, og det er så berigende 😄 (og sommetider udfordrende, derfor det kræver øvelse!)

Vil man inspireres til at udveksle ressourcer, hjælpe hinanden og styrke medmenneskelig fællesskab, så håber jeg vi ses d.27 April: dukop.dk/7816

Have you ever made your own #zine? 🤔🎨 Short for magazine/fanzine, the term refers to making non-commercial, small scale publications - an easy, accessible way to share ideas, art and knowledge. It’s also a great format for #CoCreation!

Which is why UAC artist member @seraf (who you may know from their project #Fermentorskab), is co-facilitating the making of a collaborative #zine about imagining a food utopia! 🍽🥔🥕🥘 Together with the #FoodJustice group at #MellemfolkeligtSamvirke #Aarhus 🌿

@baoigheallain Sounds like an interesting book. Everyone in those planes was unthinkably brave. It's understandable that their battles and their successful raid on the local Gestapo HQ led local people to adopt the RAF colours as a symbol of resistance.

At the risk of RAF-splaining something you already know: the artist who painted the walls of flowers in the registry office at Rådhuset (city hall) in 1941 went back in 1945 to add one wee liberation bouquet in the RAF colours.

A section of Vielsessalen (the wedding room) showing a polished wooden wall with beautiful bouquets of flowers in various sizes painted directly onto it. The registrar's podium is in front - pretty white wood with two candles on it. This is the registry office at Rådhuset – city hall, Aarhus, Denmark. Artist Albert Naur decorated it in 1941, when the city was under Nazi occupation. He painted three walls with Spring, Summer and Autumn wildflowers. After liberation in 1945, he added a single bouquet of garden flowers in the colours of the British Royal Air Force. (RAF pilots bombed Gestapo HQ in Aarhus during the Nazi occupation and their colours had become a symbol of resistance in the city.
Close up of a small bouquet of flowers on a wall otherwise decorated with larger bunches of flowers. This little bouquet in a section of its own has red, white and blue flowers on thin green stems. (The colours are a bit distorted in my poor, quick snapshot). Context follows, same #AltText as the other photo, so skip if already heard.

The colours of resistance – the red, white and blue of the British Royal Air Force. To show support for the RAF and the Allied forces during the occupation of Denmark, young people started wearing red-white-and-blue hats and clothes. The campaign became so widespread that the Nazis banned the fashion because it 'mocked the Wehrmacht’.

One of the displays at Besættelsesmuseet – the Occupation Museum in Aarhus. It is in the old city police station that the Gestapo used as their HQ and prison cells during the Nazi occupation of Denmark. In a recreation of a typical local living room of the time, we are looking at a polished dark wood sideboard with books shelved in it. The carpet is dark muted red. The wallpaper is beige and lightly patterned. On the wall, a frame with three black-and-white family photos, everyone white and blond and happy and smiling: a young girl in a dark dress and white lace collar; a toddler holding a baby; a young man in a suit and tie. On top of the sideboard, a vivid splash of bright primary colour among the muted 1940s tones: a knitted hat like a beanie. It is knitted in three stripes – red, white and blue. The plaque by the display says (my loose translation from Danish): ‘A knitted hat in the British colours. It became the fashion for young people to display their sympathy for the Allied forces by decorating hats, headbands, clothes and toys in the red, white and blue of the British Royal Air Force. This fashion statement became so widespread that the Germans banned it because it was a mockery of the Wehrmacht.’
