BREAD/EXCHANGE
Saturday, May 13, from 2-5PM
Bread is basic. It is a ubiquitous staple in the diets of diverse cultures around the globe. Beyond mere sustenance, bread also serves in many traditions as a symbol for communal sharing. On Saturday, May 13, from 2-5PM, the Whirlwind Project will host an event in cooperation with OPENSOURCE in downtown Champaign. The event, entitled Bread/Exchange, invites all members of the greater Champaign-Urbana community to meet and share conversation, and bread from varied traditions, at the OPENSOURCE location at 12 East Washington Street in Champaign. Bread for the event will be provided by local companies and by bread-baking workshops taking place in the community prior to Bread/Exchange.
Bread/Exchange is part of the Whirlwind Project’s 2006 event schedule focused on the theme, “The Art of Being Neighbors.” OPENSOURCE is an alternative art space accommodating a variety of non-traditional, community-oriented art projects and events within Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.
If possible, please bring bread to share and exchange with others at the event, with ingredients listed with the bread.
