Nomad City

Meet , our first resident of this season! We were incredibly lucky to welcome him at our settlement, initially for two weeks, which ended up becoming two months. During this time he became a core member of our group, helping out with designing and constructing various structures, initiating lots of small projects such as cheese making, ginger fermenting, dandelion tea brewing... but he also shared many interesting thougths on how we can better live together. Liam often injected the element of play and care throughout all his projects, which made a deep impact in our view towards Nomad City and which will undoubtly influence our future activities. Even though we had to say goodbye to what we now consider as a very dear friend, there are still traces of him everywhere we look. See you soon Liam!

In 2024 werden we geselecteerd voor het Burgerbudget van Stad Hasselt. We zaaiden vlas in heel wat achtertuinen in Hasselt en doorliepen we een half jaar lang alle stappen die nodig zijn om vlas te verwerken tot linnen. Hiervoor gingen we de traditionele tools samen herontwerpen om ze nog socialer te maken. We willen onze opgedane kennis dit jaar opnieuw delen met zo veel mogelijk mensen. Heb jij interesse om vlas te zaaien in je achtertuin en/of het vlas later te verwerken tot linnen? Schrijf je dan in via deze link: https://forms.gle/jqRhT5CwKcgmPsjCA

In de afgelopen weken ontwierp een prachtig plan voor de Nomad City tuin. Hij bracht eerst in kaart wat we allemaal de grond in wilde steken, vervolgens gingen we samen op zoek naar al dit plantgoed. We kochten hiervoor niks aan in de plantenwinkels maar kozen ervoor om bestaande planten te stekken en verwaarloosde struiken en bomen een nieuwe plaats te geven. Dankzij heel wat vrijwilligers kregen we bijna alles op één dag de grond in. Nu wordt het uitkijken naar het eerste oogstfeest! :)

Over the past few weeks, designed a beautiful plan for the Nomad City garden. He first mapped out everything we wanted to plant, then we went looking for all the plants together. We didn't buy anything from plant stores, but opted to take cuttings from existing plants and rehome neglected shrubs and trees. Thanks to all the volunteers, we got almost everything planted in a single day. Now we're looking forward to the first harvest festival! :)

NL (eng below): De afgelopen weken bouwden we stevig verder aan de huisjes op de site. Zo kon zijn constructie, na heel wat uren zagen en schuren, eindelijk in elkaar puzzelen. Ons kleine dorpje begint stilaan vorm te krijgen. Er viel deze maand ook iets te vieren want Nomad City blaast in januari 3 kaarsjes uit. We nodigden heel wat vrijwilligers uit voor een heerlijke maaltijd onder het winters zonnetje.

After many hours of sawing and sanding, was finally able to piece his structure together. Our little village is slowly beginning to take shape. There was also something to celebrate this month, as Nomad City turns three years in January. We invited many volunteers for a delicious meal under the winter sun.

Week 15! We were invited by to organise a walk around there communal space. For this we build a small kitchen on our cargo bike that we took with us to the city park of Hasselt. Here the participants were invited to explore the variety of plants that grow here. With an app and some determination books we were able to collect some plants to make a fresh tea and a wild pesto spread. Afterwards we asked the participants to write a small story from the perspective of the plant they just foraged: What was it thinking? Was it happy to be noticed or sad to leave its environment? This small excercise was meant to reshape our perspective towards these plants. Can we take better care for them if we get to know them? If we dare to become dependent from them once again? We also organized our first Wednesday Workdays in which we welcomed Alina and Dimitri with his two children. Together we worked on finishing the raised garden beds and working on the house. also did some landscaping work to prepare for a new construction. We also ended our first residency season by saying goodbye to .null after his two week stay. Thank you for all the help and the warm conversations!
