Casa Robino

You're in Morocco with your pasta madre. You've got friends - friends are easy to make down here - but they probably only have a toaster oven in their kitchen. That might suffice for a tiny loaf, but just around the corner, right in your neighborhood, is a magical building that's not only more appropriate for family-sized breads, but also much more social, more connecting.

The Moroccan public oven.

This place is great! And it couldn't exist without the draw of all the local families - truly a bastion of the community.

Despite the fact that casarobino.org does not allow me to have a status due to personal conflicts between a bug and me, I still love you and I want to invite Casa's friends to this event:

Het Geheugenhuis (Memory House)http://www.waag.org/project/geheugenhuis

The festival Geheugenhuis (all in Dutch sight!) will take place on 18 April 2009 at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. The main debates are about collective memory, cultural identity, the role of new technologies in shaping the process of remembering and forgetting.

It was the Wright brothers, those enterprising Ohio bike dudes of history, that discovered a way to keep airplanes in flight. They believed that flight technology would make wars of attrition obsolete - a noble scientific aim. But the inventor of dynamite, the inventor of the machine gun; they too believed the same thing of their own never-before-seen technological accomplishments. High hopes for the cutting-edge geniuses of our progress-hungry society.
