Tomorrow, Tuesday 18 May, Brent Richards will be in Iceland. Brent is an architect and designer who has long worked on food design.
For many years he ran the DesignLab at the Central Saint Martin School of Design in London. Brent is currently the Executive Director of The Design Embassy Europe. He has strong international connections in the world of design, food culture and innovations in food and experience. Brent is very interested in the state of affairs here in our area and comes here with the girls in "Björg-í-bú" who are currently working on a project for the production of sea-salted potato chips from the State of Vatnajökull.
He will give a lecture on innovation in small-scale food production and its connection to regional culture. The title of the lecture is: FOOD NARRATIVE - CONNECTION WITH CULTURAL AND REGIONAL IDENITY.
The lecture starts at 1220 and will be in the lecture hall of Nýheimar in Höfn
Following the lecture, Brent will have a short "workshop" where he will work with interested parties on the definition of opportunities in the State of Vatnajökull.
Of course, we encourage everyone to attend.
