FLUX FIUMICINA
An open kitchen by the river
Where Along the Isarco, between the Roma bridge and the Twenty bike bridge
Together with residents and experts, the Fiumicina project initiates possible common uses along the urban riverbanks through a temporary and open kitchen situation. From 27 to 29 July 2022, an improvised kitchen will be created on the riverbank and in three sensorial, culinary and creative workshops we will share recipes with wild herbs, roots and bread and try out experimental ways of preparing food with fire and clay. Besides being a place of preparation, the kitchen is also a place of gathering and cooking is an occasion for exchange. Fiumicina invites to explore the urban natural space and to discuss common potentials, needs and wishes for a new public place at the river while preparing simple dishes.
The experiences and knowledge gained will then be translated into concepts and designs for a temporary or permanently installed open kitchen along the city’s riverbanks. Neighbourhoods and already existing activities and initiatives will be involved.
The three workshops are open to all, no previous experience is necessary.
Registration is kindly requested, but spontaneous participation is also possible. It is also possible to participate on one or all 3 days.

Improvisation and construction
Wednesday 27.07.2022, 10 am – 6 pm
Location Along the Isarco, between the Roma bridge and the Twenty bike bridge
The first meeting of Fiumicina consist in the improvisation of building and setting up a kitchen on the riverbank. Which temporary infrastructures and utensils could be helpful and necessary to cook together, to bake bread at a fireplace or to prepare and enjoy a meal together? We want to open up spaces of possibility in a playful and open-minded way and to test and discuss them together.
What to bring
- Considering the unstable weather, bring your rain jacket and swimsuit combo.
- Wear appropriate shoes and, if you have any, bring your own tools (e.g., hammer, saw, screwdriver).
- Lunch will be shared, so you are invited to bring an ingredient of your choice that will be mixed with that of others.
- Don’t forget one or more water bottles.
Spontaneous Herbs along the Riverside
Thursday 28.07.2022, 4 – 8 pm
Location Along the Isarco, between the Roma bridge and the Twenty bike bridge
With the experienced herb collector Irene Hager, we will identify edible herbs, berries and wild plants on the banks of the rivers Talvera and Isarco. We will collect and dry or preserve them (like for example, transforming them into pesto and/or syrup). Together we want to sharpen our perception for the often overlooked plants of our surroundings and (re)discover the rich resources of nature and its nuances of taste.
What to bring
- Considering the unstable weather, bring the combination rain jacket and swimsuit.
- Wear appropriate shoes and we recommend bringing a basket for collecting the plants, kitchen scissors or pocket knife and a kitchen apron.
- Don’t forget one or more water bottles.
Experimental preparation and cooking
Friday 29.07.2022, 3 – 8 pm
Location Along the Isarco, between the Roma bridge and the Twenty bike bridge
As we do not want to use a fire for baking due to the current weather conditions, we will experiment with different ways of preparing and cooking food. A good occasion to think about climate-friendly cooking together.
What to bring
- Considering the unstable weather, bring a rain jacket and swimsuit combo.
- Wear appropriate shoes and we recommend that you bring a kitchen apron.
- Don’t forget one or more water bottles.
- All cooking skills, suggestions and ideas are welcome!
