Description

When describing a kitchen in a western society, one of the first things you’d think of is the fridge. But can we live without refrigerators? Why should we even consider it? What are other ways to preserve food and drinks? 


Today we talk about something a bit special regarding a Slow lifestyle: have you ever thought you can live without a refrigerator? Sandro and Emma, in Italy, gave it a try for a period of time. Also Bashir in Karamoja, Uganda has grown up and lives in a community where having a fridge is not really common. Are you curious to get to know their stories and get inspired?


Host and production: Valentina Gritti

Guests: Sandro Donda, Emma Lercari (artists and musicians) and Bashir Ochen (spokesperson of his indigenous pastoralist community in Karamoja, Uganda).

Song Played: "Passo Passo" by Garuda band (the band of Sandro and Emma).
