Wild Foraging Walk in the Food Marsh

14 June 2026 (10:00 – 15:00)
Location: Voedselmoeras, Oud Ade

Did you know that for our ancestors the marshlands where the most biodiverse and most important place to forage? The marshlands where also the first places where they settled, because of the abbundance of wild food.
During this immersive wild foraging workshop in a food marsh, you will discover the richness and versatility of wetland ecosystems. You will not only learn how to identify edible plants, but also how to harvest them sustainably and transform them into food and natural materials.
This full-day experience combines foraging, ecology, traditional crafts and cooking: offering a new perspective on how we relate to nature.

SOME PAST EVENTS

In Limbo: A deep map exhibition

Location: De Proef, Drenthe
24 October - 7 December
Peatlands are often overlooked or dismissed as wastelands but in reality are landscapes of cultural memory, ecological significance, and ongoing negotiation between histories, identities, and futures. Limbo invites you to step into these shifting landscapes and to hear stories of those connected to them.
Come explore, linger, and get bogged down with us!
De Proef op de Som x RE-PEAT: Storytelling and Paludi Dinner

Saturday 18 October 2025
15:30 – 20:00
De Proef, Drenthe
NB - this event will be in Dutch
Drenthe and peatlands are inseparably linked. For centuries, peat work shaped lives here - hard labour, exploitation, but also resistance, solidarity, and radical ideas. These stories still echo today, yet risk being forgotten. At the same time, peatlands are finally gaining recognition: unique, mysterious landscapes that store vast amounts of carbon and water, making them vital in the climate crisis.
On 18 October, RE-PEAT and De Proef invite you to an evening of stories and flavours from the peat. Listen to powerful tales, then join chef Hamish Day (TestTafel) for a paludi dinner grown on rewetted soils.

🎟 Tickets €30 via De Proef.

Lino printing workshop at alt shift festival

6 August 2025
Location: Freie Feldlage, Germany
This hands-on workshop will digest anti-extractivist conversations from the day at the Alt Shift festival, through the tactile practice of lino printing. Drawing inspiration from soil cores, each participant will carve and print a layer that symbolises what needs to be returned to the ground: gestures of repair, resitance, and regeneration. Together these layers form a visual archive of what it means to undo extractive systems. No experience needed, just a willigness to explore with you hands!
