SIMSALABIM TACOS, 2024
In Mexico City, street food kitchens make natural gathering places. The food is affordable, and people from different social backgrounds come together in the streets around food. The street kitchens bring life and warmth to public and communal spaces. Comming back to Stockholm, we were missing places like this in the city.
Over five weekends in August and September, we sailed around the islands that make up Stockholm and served tacos from the floating restaurant Simsalabim.
We were met with enthusiasm and curiosity. People gathered around the boat, and small parties seemed to emerge out of nowhere. Throughout the month, conversations around how we use the city, what is missing from our public spaces, and how we might work together to change started around us.
