Bianca Elzenbaumer
Bianca Elzenbaumer is an activist and researcher in the field of design and agro-ecological transition based in the Italian Alps. She has founded the collective Brave New Alps, the Alpine Community Economies Lab and the community academy La Foresta. She is co-president of Cipra International, an NGO campaigning for the protection of the Alps. Her research project focuses on supporting and creating community economies and commons from the places where she lives.
Drawing from her experience in participatory design projects that engage communities in reconfiguring social and environmental issues, Bianca Elzenbaumer, in collaboration with Irene Manfrini, proposes a foraging workshop in the Adamello Brenta Alps. Participants are guided to identify and collect edible plant species present in the area, which they will later use in culinary preparations.
