Food is an everyday part of our lives, a routine that we cannot go without, but also a unique language, a way to express ourselves, our views and understandings of the world. In this daily choice, our attitudes towards social and political life, towards climate change, our religious affiliation, even the moral and ethical boundaries we set for ourselves can be seen. In art, food is very often an object, but also a medium through which important aspects of the modern world are revealed and discussed. It is a "delicious metaphor” of life itself, understandable by everyone because it concerns every living being, on both an emotional, psychological and physical level. The exhibition "Edible Stories" is part of the Credo Bonum Foundation's cycle of exhibitions dedicated to climate change "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", but chooses not to present directly or with data the dramatic picture of ecological imbalance to which feeding an increasingly rapidly growing humanity leads, but to turn to the voices coming from the narrow parameter of our food daily life. Where food is a conscious decision, a position, but also a dialogue, an intimacy that we need. Where the culture of consumption is left aside to make room for our conversation with our own body, instinctively feeling – perhaps before us – the looming cataclysms. An exhibition could not change the dramatic curve in scientific data any more than our lunch choices could, but both are small steps towards a return to the meaning of mindful action.
