Our Initiatives
CK Foundation is currently involved in the following projects:
BREADS OF THE CREATIVE CITIES
“… bread is a culturally significant staple food of a community, made with a local flour and water…”
Breads of the Creative Cities is an ongoing project that is supported by the Creative Knowledge Foundation and its partner – Tucson UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.
The project looks at the fascinating relationship between Carrara – the city of marble – and its talented artisans and artists through video-interviews and cultural itineraries that show beauty and heritage around the city.
In support of PORTOVIEJO CREATIVE CITY
Implementation of “The Future…is under your feet” in Portoviejo:
Step one: to analyze the creative assets of the region and build a digital library of the local knowledge keepers, their ingredients and recipes through the Creative Knowledge Platform.
ARTISANAL
CHEESES
The project explores the history, science, culture and traditions of artisanal cheesemaking by telling the stories of the Knowledge Keepers (farmers, breeders, cheesemakers) and their heritage.
